Sympathy for the Devil Lyrics by Ozzy Osbourne

Prince of Darkness

2005

[Verse 1]
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long time
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
[Chorus]
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
[Verse 2]
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Tzar 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]
[Verse 3]
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted who killed the Kennedys?
After all it was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I laid traps for the troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners are saints
Heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy and taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste
[Chorus]
[Verse 5]
What's my name?
What's my name?
What's my name?
I am lucifer
Wooooooo
Alright you mother fucker's
What's my name?
What's my name?
Come on baby, come on baby, come on baby, come on baby
[Chorus]
