Sympathy For The Devil

Sympathy forThe Devil

1. Please allow me to introduce myself,
I’ m a man of wealth and taste.
I’ ve been around for a long,long year
I ’ve stolen 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 Dilate washed his hands and sold his faith.

Please to meet you, hope you guess my name.
But what’s puzzling you, is the nature of my game.

2. I stuck around St. Petersburg,
When I saw it was the time for a change.
I 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.
Please to meet ............. , oh yeah.
But what’s...................... , oh yeah.

3. 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.
So let me Please introduce my self,
I’m a man of wealth and taste.
And I lay traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay.
2 mal Please to meet you, hope you ............ , oh yeah.
2 mal But what’s................ , is the nature of ma game, oh yeah.

4. Just as every cop is a criminal,
And all the sinners, saints.
As head is tail, just call me Lucifer’s
‘Cause I’m in needs of some restraint.
So if you meat me, have some courtesy,
Have some sympathy and some tast,
Use all your well learned politesse,
Or I ‘ ll lay your soul to waste, mm year.
Please to........................... , mm yeah,
But ................................... , mm easy.
