Sympathy for the Devil Songtext
von Sandra Bernhard

Please allow me to introduce myself
I′m a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long time
Seen many men go to waste
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 confusing you
Is just the nature of my game


I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw that it was time for a change
I killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode the tank in the general's rain
When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank
I shouted out: "Who killed the Kennedys?"
Well, after all, it was you and me

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

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
Heads or tails, just call me Lucifer
′Cause I′m in need of some restraint
If you meet me, have some courtesy
Have some sympathy and some taste
Accept your well-earned apologies
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Oh yeah
But what is puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game


Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Oh yeah
But what is confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
