"Sympathy For The Devil" lyrics

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a many long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
I was here when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzlin' you
Is the nature of my game

Stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the tsar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank, held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
I hope you guess my name
Ah, what's confusing you
Is the nature of my game

Pleased to meet you
I hope you guess my name
I know what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I watched with 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 introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay

Pleased to meet you
I hope you guess my name
I know what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
If you want just call me Lucifer
I'm in need of some restraint

So if you see me, have some sympathy
Have some courtesy and some taste
Use all your well-learned politeness
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

I pleased to meet you
I hope you guess my name
I know what's puzzling you, baby
In my game
...
