Sympathy For The Devil

Just what is it that you want to do?

We wanna be free
We wanna be free to do what we want to do
And we wanna get loaded
And we wanna have a good time

And that's what we gonna do

Oh, wait, baby, let's go

We're gonna have a good time
We're gonna have a party

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

Oh, look at me, 'cause
I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
I made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my fucking game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
I, 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
But what's puzzling you

Just what is it that you want to do

We wanna be free
We wanna be free to do what we want to do
And we wanna get loaded
And we wanna have a good time

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made

Oh, yeah
I shouted out: "Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all it was you and me

So let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadors
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Oooh, 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 soul to waste, yeah
