Sympathy for the Devil

Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste I've been around for a long, long year stole many a man's soul and fate I was 'round when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and faith 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 change I killed the Czar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain I rode a tank held a generals rank When the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game I watched the gleam while your kings and queens Fought for ten decades for the Goth they made I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedys?" 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 reached Bombay Pleased 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 you sinners Saints As I end this tale 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 qualities 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
