Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil

(Jagger/Richards) 



Please allow me to introduce myself

I＇m a man of wealth and taste

I＇ve been around for a long long year

Stolen many man＇s soul and faith

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



Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name

But what＇s puzzling you is the nature of my game 



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 gen＇rals 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 the 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 intruduce myself

I＇m a man of wealth and taste

And I lay traps for troubadors

Who get killed before they reach Bombay



Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name.

Oh yeah

But what＇s puzzling you is the nature of my game.

Oh yeah



Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name

But what＇s puzzling you is 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



Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name

But what＇s puzzling you is the nature of my game
