Sympathy For The Devil Lyrics

Sympathy For The Devil

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 damn sure
that Pilate, Washed his hands and sealed his fate

CHORUS: Pleased to
meet you Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my
game

I stuck around St. Petersberg, 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

CHORUS

I watched with glee, While your kings and
queens
Fought for ten decades, For the Gods they made
I shouted out, "Who
killed the Kennedys?"
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
troubadors, Who get killed before they reached Bombay

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

Woo, who, Oh yeah, get on down, Oh yeah, Oh
yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, baby guess my
name
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell you one time, you're to
blame
Ooo, who, Ooo, who, Ooo, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who,
who, Ooo, who, who
What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell
me, sweetie, what's my name
Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, Ooo, who, Ooo, who, Ooo,
who, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who,
