Sympathy For The Devil lyrics

Ozzy Osbourne

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long time
Stole many a man's soul and faith

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, oh yeah
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


Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, 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,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
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 reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, yeah
(laughing)
Aaahhhhh

(Guitar Solo)

Every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
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 taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, ah

What's my name
What's my name
What's my name

Woo, who
Oh
Ooo
Alright Motherfuckers

What's my name
What's my name

Come on baby
Come on baby

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling  you
Is the nature of my game
