Motörhead — Sympathy for the Devil
Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste
Been around for a long, long year, stole many a man's soul to waste
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
'Cause what's confusing you is just the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change
I 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
'Cause what's puzzling you is just the nature of my game
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
'Cause what's confusing you is just 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 out, "Who killed the Kennedys?" when 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 got killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's confusing you is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners saints
As heads is tales, just call me Lucifer and I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well learned politesse or I'll lay your soul to waste
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is just the nature of my game
What's my name?
What's my name?
Lucifer, that's my name, baby
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh come on
