Rolling Stones Sympathy for the Devil Lyrics
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
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made d___ sure that Pilate
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. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
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, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee while your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades for the gods they made.
I shouted out, "Who killed the Kennedy's?"
When after all it was you and me.
Let me please introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours who get killed before they reached bombay
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.
[Guitar Solo]
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 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, 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
Woo, who. Oh yeah, get on down. Oh yeah. Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name?
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name?
Tell me baby, what's my name?
I tell you one time, you're to blame.
