Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil
Author And Composer: Mick Jagger and Keith 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 mans 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 generals rank
|
When the blitzkrieg raged
|
and the bodies stank
|
Pleased to meet you
|
hope you guess my name, oh yeah
|
But what's puzzling you
|
is the nature of my game, oh yeah
|
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 reached 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, 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
|
um yeah
|
Pleased to meet you
|
hope you guess my name, um yeah
|
But what's puzzling you
|
is the nature of my game,
|
uuum mean it, get down
|
Woo, who Oh yeah, get on down
|
Oh yeah
|
Tell me baby, what's my name
|
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
|
Tell me baby, what's my name
|
I tell you one time, you're to blame
|
