The Rolling Stones – Sympathy for the Devil
[Verse]
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 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
But what's puzzling you
Is 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 And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay Please to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
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 Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
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 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
