Sympathy For The Devil Lyrics

[00:20.75] Please allow me to introduce myself
[00:24.64] I'm a man of wealth and taste
[00:29.59] I've been around for a long, long years
[00:32.80] Stole million man's soul an faith
[00:37.87] And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
[00:40.87] Had his moment of doubt and pain
[00:46.12] Made damn sure that Pilate
[00:49.12] Washed his hands and sealed his fate
[00:56.39] Pleased to meet you
[00:58.23] Hope you guess my name
[01:03.70] But what's puzzling you
[01:05.47] Is the nature of my game
[01:12.87] Stuck around St. Petersburg
[01:16.03] When I saw it was a time for a change
[01:21.78] Killed Tsar and his ministers
[01:24.42] Anastasia screamed in vain
[01:29.33] I rode a tank
[01:30.46] Held a general's rank
[01:32.57] When the blitzkrieg raged
[01:34.73] And the bodies stank
[01:39.89] Pleased to meet you
[01:41.66] Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
[01:46.93] Ah, what's puzzling you
[01:49.05] Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
[01:56.25] I watched with glee
[01:57.48] While your kings and queens
[01:59.68] Fought for ten decades
[02:01.75] For the gods they made
[02:04.03] I shouted out
[02:05.27] Who killed the Kennedys?
[02:07.80] When after all
[02:09.92] It was you and me
[02:12.87] Let me please introduce myself
[02:15.80] I'm a man of wealth and taste
[02:20.98] And I laid traps for troubadours
[02:24.30] Who get killed before they reached Bombay
[02:31.47] Pleased to meet you
[02:33.30] Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
[02:38.54] But what's puzzling you
[02:40.71] Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
[03:23.50] Pleased to meet you
[03:25.27] Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
[03:30.39] But what's confusing you
[03:32.38] Is just the nature of my game
[03:38.51] Just as every cop is a criminal
[03:43.16] And all the sinners saints
[03:47.31] As heads is tails
[03:48.80] Just call me Lucifer
[03:51.23] 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
[03:55.44] So if you meet me
[03:56.84] Have some courtesy
[03:59.40] Have some sympathy, and some taste
[04:04.08] Use all your well-learned politnesse
[04:07.59] Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah
[04:14.75] Pleased to meet you
[04:16.52] Hope you guessed my name, mm yeah
[04:21.91] But what's puzzling you
[04:23.98] Is the nature of my game, mm mean it, get down
[04:31.62] Woo, who
[04:41.54] Oh yeah, get on down
[04:45.06] Oh yeah
[05:00.40] Aah yeah
[05:04.21] Tell me baby, what's my name?
[05:07.34] Tell me honey, can ya guess my name?
[05:11.55] Tell me baby, what's my name?
[05:15.67] I tell you one time, you're to blame
[05:42.86] What's my name
[05:44.94] Tell me, baby, what's my name?
[05:48.98] Tell me, sweetie, what's my name?
[05:52.66]
