Sympathy for the Devil (Rolling Stones)

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste.
I've been around for long, long years,
stolen many man's soul and faith.
I was around when Jesus Christ had his
moment of doubt and paint.
I am damn sure that Pilate washed his hands
and sealed his fate.

Chorus:
Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name.
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game.

I stuck around in St. Petersburg,
when I saw it was a time for a change.
I killed the tzar and his ministers,
Anastasia screamed in vain.
I rode a tank, held a general's rank,
when Blitzkrieg raged and bodies stank.
And I lay traps for troubadors
who get killed before they reach Bombay.

Chorus:
Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name.
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game.
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the ...........
what is puzzling you is the nature of my game.

2nd Chorus:
Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name,
but What is 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 Kennedies?"
When after all, it was you and me.
So let me please introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and taste.
