Sympathy for the Devil (or, a Parody for Karla) Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a con of luck and fame I've been around for a long, long year Stole Canada's peace and faith And I was 'round when your sweet young girls Tasted terror, shame and pain Made damn sure Bernardo 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 game I stuck around St Catherines When I saw it was a time for a change Raped some girls, killed my baby sis I smiled as they screamed in vain We rode in style Held a marriage rank While the country raged And the bodies stank Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name, oh yeah Ah, what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah I watched with glee While the powers that be Fought for months and years O'er the Deal they made I shouted out, Who killed the innocents? When after all It was you and me Let me please introduce myself I'm a con of luck and fame And I lay traps for teenagers Who get killed before they turn sixteen. Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But what's confusing you Is just the nature of my game Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails Just call me Karma Teale '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 kids to waste, um yeah Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, um yeah But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
