Sympathy for the Devil by Motrhead Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
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
[Chorus 1]
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
[Verse 2]
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
I killed the Tsar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank, held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank
[Chorus 2]
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Cause what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
(Come on) x3
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus 3]
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Ah yeah, but what's confusing you
Is the nature of my game
[Verse 3]
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
And I laid traps for the troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
[Chorus 4]
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
It's just the nature of my game
[Verse 4]
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 politeness or I'll lay your soul to waste
Oh yeah
[Chorus 5]
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, Ohh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game
Ah yeah, Get down
[Outro]
What's my name?
What's my name?
Lucifer, That's my name baby!
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
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
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
[Chorus 1]
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
