Sympathy for the devil

E D A E
Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste
E D A E
I've been around for long, long years I've stolen many a man's soul and faith
E D A E
I was around when Jesus Christ had His moment of doubt and pain
E D A E
I made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name,

but what's puzzling you, is the nature of my game


Stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Tzar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank held a gen'rals rank when the blitzkrieg
raged and the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name. Oh yeah
Ah what's puzzling you is the nature of my game. Oh yeah

I watched the glee while your kings and queens fought for
ten decades for the Gods they made
I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedy's?" when after all
it was you and me
Let me please intruduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadors who get killed before they reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name. Oh yeah
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game. Oh yeah

Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name
But what's confusing you is the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal and all the sinners, Saints
as heads is tails, just call me Lucifer 'cause I'm in need
of some restraint
So if you meet me, have some courtesy have some sympathy
and some taste
Use all your well learned politesse or I'll lay your soul to waste
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game
