Lyrics:
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 puzzling you
Is 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 generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
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
Im a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats 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 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 Ill lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, whats my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, whats my name
I tell you one time, youre to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
Whats me name
Tell me, baby, whats my name
Tell me, sweetie, whats my name
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah

shawshank05: fuck off
imdunin: hey shortwank shortshank. I cant stop laughing. I cant wait for the reply. It took you how many days to come up with fuck off,i bet you lost sleep over it. Write soon yeah. You juvenile prick
DaZJM1991: Danke Tropic thunder...tHANK YOU
Zenstudent105: Lmfao
Zenstudent105: Yes, because WITH Christianity there've been no wars, especially between Christians. I'm not a Christian or an atheist and I have no problem with Christianity but I do take issue with you saying that without it we're all bent on killing ourselves. I'm sure the world has benefitted greatly from Christ and it must be scary as shit to think his word is dying out and people are losing their way, but they're not. What you're perceiving is yourself in all those devilworshippers.Think about it.
alun191: um what about the crusades. they twisted thow shall not kill in to thow shall not kill other christians as alway religon twisted to what they want all religions do it.
vanrooj: OK I'm dead. I wake up. And look around. I'm sat in a long hallway, each side of which is decorated in walnut panels, there's oil paintings of people I don't recognise. I sit in a chair, looking to my right are two large doors, in my hand is a large whiskey. The doors open. a man walks out with a glass of brandy in his hand, dressed in a silk robe... "Hurst, I've been expecting you" he quips, I follow him. I walk inside and I am there... enjoying my destiny.
autumnenergy: Hail Lucifer !!!
Zenstudent105: Not the religions per say but their followers. Even my fellow Buddhists have gone crazy in the past and done something in the name of the Buddha or their insane image of how the world should be, and we're not really a religion. There are certain things I like about religions, though, and I take them with a grain of salt like everything else. Long as we don't go to extremes religion is fine.
imdunin: This internet is such a blast but i need to learn more. I had to ask some of the younger folk what lmfao meant. Good stuff lol,wtf etc. I gotta go cos shawshank is calling the feds, he wants to put me in Guantanamo bay as a cyber terrorist
DaZJM1991: I dont think you could top this classic... All i can say is Amazing.
CHILLO1231: its a song......and a good one.....whats with all the bible punching......maybe its just me.....
southsieed: fucking brilliant.....fuck all religious cunts
materoosky: this is not about religion you dunce
materoosky: not about lucifer
iliana715: a la mierda con todo creo que para ver a dios no hace falta ninguna religion que hace que las personas se odien por ser de distintas religiones
autumnenergy: "Sympathy for the Devil" is not about Lucifer???!!! Then pray tell, what is the song about.
djricky09: its NOT about religion... this is just about the bad things that happened in the world and the stones just wanted to say who it was xDD now don't bring me that shit that stairway to heaven by led zepplin is a fuckin devil worshiping song and this song backwards is a message for christianity and "oh god almighty and jesus is our savior" kinda stuff...cause if i see that on youtube i'll kill myself, that is almost my will when i saw the stairway t heaven shit --' fuckin no life backwording idiots
djricky09: only two songs were meant to be backwording: one we all know empty spaces by pink floyd of course, and the other one is just the simpsons yvan eht nioj (join the navy) episode xDD i love the stones btw, i will stop with the off topic xD
southsieed: arsehole
ACruelPicture: The "Shine A Light" version is way better. The Rolling Stones was at there best at that time. :D
nixart7: Just the business!!! the charts should be fulla stuff like this...but alas!!!
