Sympathy for the Devil (Take 2) (Backing Vocal Overdub) Songtext
von The Rolling Stones

Now, please allow me to introduce myself
I′m a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for many a long year
Stole many a man′s soul and faith
I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands, sealed his faith, yeah

Pleased to meet you
Hope you get my name
A-what been puzzling you is just the
Nature of my game


I stood around in St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
I 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 get my name
Now, what′s confusing you is just the
Nature of my game, ooh yeah
Get down
Pleased to meet you
Hope you get my name
Now, what′s puzzling you is just the
Nature of my game

Now, just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, call me Lucifer
I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me, have some courtesy
Sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I′ll lay your soul to waste


Pleased to meet you
Hope you get my name, it'll be there
Now, what′s puzzling you is just the
Nature of my game, yeah

What do we say?
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, baby, what's my name?
Tell me, baby, now, what′s my name?
Now, tell me, baby, what's my name?
Now, tell me, baby, I'm goin′ insane
Tell me, baby, what′s my name?
Tell me, baby, you're going insane
Yes
Tell me, baby, what′s my name?
Tell me, baby, I'm going insane
Tell me, baby, what′s my name?
Tell me, baby, what's my game?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Yeah, what′s my game?

Thank you
