“Sympathy for the Devil”
Artist: Motörhead
Albums: Bad Magic (2015)
This song is a cover of Sympathy for the Devil by The Rolling Stones.

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

And I was around 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
And what's intriguing you
Is just the nature of my game

I stuck around Saint Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
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
'Cos what's puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game

Come on
Come on
Come on

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Ah yes
'Cos what's amusing you
Is just the nature of my game

I watched with glee (ooh ooh)
While your kings and queens (ooh ooh)
Fought for ten decades (ooh ooh)
For the gods they made (ooh ooh)

I shouted out (ooh ooh)
Who killed the Kennedys? (ooh ooh)
When after all (ooh ooh)
It was you and me (ooh ooh)

Let me please (ooh ooh) introduce myself (ooh ooh)
I'm a man (ooh ooh) of wealth and taste (ooh ooh)
And I laid traps (ooh ooh) for troubadours (ooh ooh)
Who get killed (ooh ooh) before they reached Bombay (ooh ooh)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
Oh yeah
'Cos what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop (ooh ooh) is a criminal (ooh ooh)
And all the (ooh ooh) sinners saints (ooh ooh)
As heads is tails (ooh ooh)
Just call me Lucifer (ooh ooh)
And I'm in need (ooh ooh) of some restraint (ooh ooh)

So if you meet me (ooh ooh)
Have some courtesy (ooh ooh)
Have some sympathy (ooh ooh)
And some taste (ooh ooh)
Use all your (ooh ooh) well-learned politesse (ooh ooh)
Or I'll lay (ooh ooh) your soul to waste (ooh ooh)
Oh yeah

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
Ah yeah
'Cos what's puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game
Ah yes
Get down

(Ooh ooh) (ooh ooh)
What's my name (ooh ooh)
What's my name (ooh ooh) (ooh ooh) (ooh ooh)
Listen ah (ooh ooh)
What's my name (ooh ooh)
Ah yeah (ooh ooh)
Ah yeah (ooh ooh)
Aah hah (ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh)
