Sympathy for the Devil

Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

I've been around for long,lost year

Stolen many and a man's soul and faith

I was around when Jesus Christ had

His moment of doubt and faith

I made damn sore that Pilate

Washed his hands and sealed his fate



Please to meet you

Hope you guess my name

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game



I stuck around St.Petersburg

When I saw it was time for a change

I killed the tzar and his ministers

Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank,held a general's rank

When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank



Please to meet you

Hope you guess my name

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game



I watched with glee while your kings and queens

Fought for decades for the Gods they made

I should "who killed the Kennedys?"

When after all it was you and me

So let me please introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

And I lay traps for troubadours

Who get killed before they reach Bombay



Please to meet you

Hope you guess my name

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game



Please to meet you

Hope you guess my name

But what's puzzling 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 Luciter

'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



Please to meet you

Hope you guess my name

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game
