The Rolling Stones – Sympathy for the Devil

The Rolling Stones – Sympathy for the Devil Lyrics

Artist: The Rolling Stones
Song: Sympathy for the Devil

Yow, yow
Yow
Mm-huh
Mm-uh

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

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

Oh, yeah
Ah, 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?”
Well, 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

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Oh, yeah
But what’s puzzling you

Is the nature of my game
Oh, yeah
A-get down, baby
Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name
Oh, yeah
But what’s confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Mm, yeah
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, mm, yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
Mm, yeah

But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
Mean it
Get down

Woo-hoo
Ah, yeah
Get on down
Oh, yeah

Mm
Bum, ba-bum, bum, bum, ba-bum
Ba-bum, bum, bum, ba-bum
Bum, ba-bum, bum, bum, ba-bum

Bum, dum, bum, bum, ba-dum, da
Yeah
Ah, yeah
Tell me, baby, what’s my name?

Tell me, honey, can you guess my name?
Tell me, baby, what’s my name?
I’ll tell you one time, you’re to blame
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo

Ooh-hoo, alright
Ooh-hoo-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo
Ooh-hoo-hoo, ah, yeah
Ooh-hoo-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo

Ah yes, what’s my name?
Tell me, baby, what’s my name?
Tell me, sweetie, what’s my name?
Ooh-hoo-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo

Ooh-hoo-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo
Ooh-hoo-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo
Ooh-hoo-hoo, ah, yeah
