Blood Sweat & Tears

Blood Sweat & Tears - Symphony/Sympathy For the Devil lyrics

(Jagger/Richards)

(As performed by BS&T)

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
