Sympathy For The Devil - Live at Madison Square Garden, New York / 1969

Paint it black, pain it black
Paint it black, you devils
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 to waste

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, well I
Hope you guess my name
What's been puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game, oh yeah

I 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
And I hope you guess my name, oh yeah
What's been puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game, oh baby

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, after all it was you and me

I want, let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you, baby
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
What's been puzzling you
Is just the nature of my game, oh whoa
Oh-hoo, oh yeah
Oh yeah, alright
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Oh, yeah, oh yeah
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo
Ooh-hoo, yeah

Oh, get on down
Get on down, get on down
Get down, come on down, come on down
Oh yeah, better get down
Yeah
Aw, I gotta move
Ah, get on down
Ah, get on down
Gotta come
You doin' alright?
Have a good time
