the rolling stones – sympathy for the devil [get yer ya-ya’s out] lyrics

Loading...

[instrumental intro]
huh, huh, huh

[verse 1]
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
i was ’round when jesus christ
had his moment of doubt and pain
made d+mn 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

[verse 2]
i stuck around st. petersburg
when i saw it was a time for a change
k!lled 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]
pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
but what’s puzzling you is the nature of my game

[verse 3]
i watched with glee while your kings and queens
fought for ten decades for the gods they made
i shouted out, “who k!lled 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 k!lled before they reach bombay

[chorus]
pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
but what’s puzzling you is the nature of my game

oh yeah, get down heavy!

[guitar solo]

[chorus + variation]
pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name, oh yeah
but what’s confusin’ you is just the nature of my game

[verse 4]
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

[chorus]
pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name
but what’s puzzling you is the nature of my game

[instrumental outro with scatting and ad+lib vocals]
