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 faith

I was around when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
I made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Oh, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

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

I'm pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Ah, what's puzzling you
Was 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 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 the troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all you sinners saints
What's heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
I'm in need of some restraint

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
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, ahh

Hoo hoo, hoo hoo
Hoo hoo, hoo hoo
Hoo hoo, hoo hoo
Hoo hoo

Now tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me sweetie, what's my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me one time, you're afraid

Oh hoo
Oh hoo hoo
Oh hoo hoo
What's my name?
Oh hoo hoo
Oh hoo hoo
Aah, yeah
What's my name?
