Sympathy For The Devil Lyrics

Artist: The Rolling Stones
Album: Sympathy For The Devil

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

CHORUS: Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersberg, 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

CHORUS

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 troubadors, Who get killed before they reached Bombay

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

Woo, who, Oh yeah, get on down, Oh yeah, Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, baby guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell you one time, you're to blame
Ooo, who, Ooo, who, Ooo, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who
What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Ooo, who, who Ooo, who, Ooo, who, Ooo, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who, Ooo, who, who,

Do you remember the song used in the movie with Denzel Washington, where the executed criminal jumped from body to body? I can't remember the name of the movie, but this song was a great backdrop song for the movie

The movie, Jim Walker, was called "Fallen".

I played this song a my third to An Exec. of the Chrysler Corp in Birmingham Mich. I had learned, The house of the Rising Sun, and Mr. tamborine-Man. Mr. Guenther was grooving to my show. So He bought me a Vox Melody Amp,because that was my wager with him, that I could learn the songs in a 6 hour time span. Yet, I never became an Eric Clapton. Thank you for posting these lyrics, BH-IIIrd, Hillsboro, Or.
