Lyrics Sympathy for the Devil (Remastered 2018) - The Rolling Stones

Yeah

Oh yeah
Yeah, yeah

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, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game

Stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the tsar 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 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

So let me 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

Get down with it
Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Bye baby

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game, yeah

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Used to call Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

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, yeah

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game, oh yeah

Get down with it
Woo, yeah
Alright, woo

Woo
Alright, woo, alright, oh baby
Alright, alright, alright
Woo, woo, woo
Ah yeah, woo, ah yeah, ah yeah
Woo, woo, ah yeah
Alright, alright
Woo, woo, woo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah yeah, woo, woo
Alright, alright

Alright, alright, woo, alright
Ah, ah yeah

Tell me baby, what's my name?
Tell me baby, oh tell me baby, what's my name?
I wanna tell you sweetie, you'll be alright

Woo, ah yeah
Woo, ah, ah yeah
Ah yeah, woo, ah yeah
Oh no, ah yeah, yeah

Yeah
Alright

Tell me baby, what's my name?
What's my name?
Oh, tell me baby, what's my name?
I wanna tell the sweetie, you're to put my name
Wanna tell me baby, what's my name?
Wanna tell me sweetie, you're put away

Woo, woo, ah yeah, alright
That chunk of honey, what's my name?
Ah, what's my name?
Ah, tell me baby
