Sympathy for the Devil The Rolling Stones Plea

Sympathy for the Devil
The Rolling Stones

Please allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive 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 whats been puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St Petersberg
When I saw it was 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 whats puzzling you, is the nature of my game, Oh yeah

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, Oh yeah
But whats puzzling you is the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, call me Lucifer
Cause Im 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, OH YEAH!


Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, Oh yeah!
But whats puzzling you is the nature of my game
Tell me baby whats my name
OH, OH, OH, OH!

Tell me honey whats my name
Oh just the sweetest, tell me whats my name
Tell me sweetie whats my name
OH YEAH, OH YEAH, OH YEAH!
OH, OH, OH!
Can Stooge get a holler now?!!

WHOOP! WHOOP! WHOOP!
