Symphony For The Devil / Sympathy For The Devil

Keith Richards, Mick Jagger

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long years
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 confusing you
Is just 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 general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank, Oh!

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name,
And what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game,

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
Been around for many a year
Laid many a man's soul to waste

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
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
Some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, YEAH!

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
