Sympathy for the Devil

Please let me introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and good taste. I've been around for many years, many years. I've stolen the soul and faith from many men. I was there when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain, and I swear by the hells that Pilate would wash his hands and seal his fate. Delighted to meet you. I hope you know my name. But what unsettles you is the nature of my game. I was near St. Petersburg when I saw the change arrive. Kill the tsar and his ministers, Anastasia cried out in vain. I drove a tank, I had the rank of general when the lightning war broke out and the bodies stank. Delighted to meet you. I hope you know my name. But what unsettles you is the nature of my game. Sympathy for the Devil

Look with joy while your kings and queens fought for ten decades over the goddesses they created
Shout: who killed the Kennedys?
When after all it was you and I
Let me introduce myself
I am a man of wealth and good taste
Set traps for the troubadours
Who died before arriving in Bombay

Delighted to meet you
I hope you know my name
But what disconcerts you
Is the nature of my game

Just like every policeman is a criminal
And all saints are sinners
And heads or tails is the same, call me simply Lucifer
I need certain brakes
So if you find me, be courteous
A little sympathy and certain elegance
Use your well-learned education
!Or I'll make your soul rot!
Delighted to meet you
I hope you know my name
But what disconcerts you
Is the nature of my game
