Sympathy For The Devil Lyrics - Natalie Merchant

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 'round when Jesus Christ 

Had his moment of doubt and pain 

Made damn sure that Pilate 

Washed his hands when he 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 in St. Petersburg 

When I noticed it was a time for a change 

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 

Pleased to meet you 

Hope you guess my name 

What's puzzling you 

Is the nature of my game, oh yeah 

Woo, who 

Woo, woo 

Woo, who, who 

Woo, who, who 

Just as every cop is a criminal 

And all the sinners saints 

As heads is tails 

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 politesse 

Or I'll lay your soul to waste 

Pleased to meet you 

Hope you guessed my name, um yeah 

But what's puzzling you 

Is the nature of my game 

Oh I said 

Pleased to meet you 

Hope you guess my name 

What's confusing you 

that's the nature of my game
