Sympathy For The Devil Lyrics

    (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
    Stole many a man's soul and fate
    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 time for a change
    Killed the czar and his ministers
    Anastasia screamed in vain
    I rode a tank
    In a general's rank
    When the blitzkrieg raged
    And the finest 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 tracks for troubadours
    Who get killed before they reached bombay
    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 you sinner's 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 qualities
    Or i'll lay your soul to waste
