Текст песни Sympathy for the Devil - Live - Natalie Merchant

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 and faith

I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands when he sealed his fate

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

Stuck around in St. Petersburg
When I noticed it was a time for a change
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

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
What′s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

Woo, who
Woo, woo
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who

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

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

Oh I said
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
What's confusing you
That′s the nature of my game
