[GHOST, The Hellacopters - Sympathy for the Devil lyrics]
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 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, I hope you guess my name
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
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, I hope you guess my name
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 out, "Who killed the Kennedys?"
Well, after all, it was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you, I hope you guess my name
But what's confusing you is the
Nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
'Cause 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 fucking soul to waste
Pleased to meet you, I hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the
Nature of my game
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul 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, I hope you guess my name
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
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, I hope you guess my name
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 out, "Who killed the Kennedys?"
Well, after all, it was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you, I hope you guess my name
But what's confusing you is the
