Sympathy For The Devil Songtext
von Never the Bride

Please allow me to introduce myself
I′m a woman 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
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

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, held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank


Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, ooh yeah
What′s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, ooh yeah

I watched with glee while your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades for the gods they made
And shouted out, "Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all it was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I′m a woman of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who got killed before they reached Bombay

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

Alright baby, let′s get down

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, ooh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is the nature of my game


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 please have some courtesy
Have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I′ll lay your soul to waste
Did you hear that?

I said pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, ooh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, alright
Well I said pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, did you guess my name?
Well what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, okay, check it out

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Get on down, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Tell me baby, ooh yeah
What′s my name, ooh yeah
Tell me baby, ooh yeah
What′s my name, ooh yeah, ooh yeah

What's my name, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
What′s my name
What's my, what′s my, what's my name
Ow, ow
Pleased to meet you

Can you guess my name?

Oh baby, yeah, oh baby, yeah
Alright, alright
