Sympathy for the Devil Songtext
von Ozzy Osbourne

Down
Aw!
Ooh
Aw!

Please allow me to introduce myself
I′m a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long time
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, oh yeah
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 (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

Oh, pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name (oh, yeah)
But what′s puzzling you
Is 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, "Who killed the Kennedys?"
After all, it was you and me

Let me, please, introduce myself
I′m a man of wealth and taste
I laid traps for the troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

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

Aw! Whoo!
Ah!

Oh, yeah (hoo-hoo)


Every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners are saints
Heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
I′m in need of some restraint

So if you meet me, have some courtesy
Have some sympathy and taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what′s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game (oh)

What's my name?
What′s my name?
What's my name?
I am Lucifer

Whoa
Alright, you motherfuckers

What's my name?
What′s my name?
I am the devil too
There can only be one devil, so one of us must go
Come on, baby, come on, baby
Come on, baby, come on, baby

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what′s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I am the devil too
There can only be one devil, so one of us must go
(I am the devil too)
(There can only be one devil, so one of us must go) I am the devil too
There can only be one devil, so one of us must go
