Symphonysympathy For The Devil Lyrics

(Jagger/Richards) 



(As performed by BS&T) 







Please allow me to introduce myself 



I'm a man of wealth and taste 



I've been around for a long, long years 



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 







Pleased to meet you 



Hope you guess my name 



But what's confusing you 



Is just 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, Oh! 







Pleased to meet you 



Hope you guess my name, 



And what's confusing you 



Is just the nature of my game, 







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 



Been around for many a year 



Laid many a man's soul to waste 







Pleased to meet you 



Hope you guessed my name 



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 



Some sympathy, and some taste 



Use all your well-learned politesse 



Or I'll lay your soul to waste, YEAH! 







Pleased to meet you 



Hope you guessed my name 



But what's confusing you 



Is just the nature of my game
