sympathy for the devil

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

and i was 'round 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. petersberg

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

oh yeah

what's puzzling you

is the nature of my game

oh yeah

i watched with glee

while your kings and queens

fought for ten decades

for the gods they made

i shouted out

who killed the kennedys?"
