| The Rolling Stones – Sympathy for the Devil Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
This song is clearly about God being responsible for what goes on.
"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"
"I shouted out "who killed the Kennedy's?" when after all it was you and me"
"Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame"
it's as simple as that. People like to blame the worlds problems on a "devil" or "evil" when it is Man himself to blame. |

lol, you gave such a great explination, but fell short on the last reply. "God is evil" is a bit ridiculous. This might as well be an athiest or agnostic standpoint. Mack Jagger has stated that he was ambivalent to religion.
All polytheistic religions prior to Judeism and Christianity never believed in a god of "Evil" or devil. They worshiped gods for war and hunger and everything else "bad," but they weren't looked at negatively. They were still gods and in their eyes, better than humans. The Monotheistic religions created an evil force that apposed their only, all-mighty god. This made everything black & white (good vs. evil), instead of looking at the full spectrum of life. |

I has to be a break-up.
"To tell the truth I saw it coming,
The way, you were breathing.
But nothing can prepare you for it,
The voice, on the other, end."
theres no way anyone would anticipate someones death. but you can deffinitely anticipate a break-up. |

"kickin' it root down" simply translates to being real and doing your own thing. It can be about getting your education or having an open mind and questioning things or challenging it, ultimately, for the betterment of the human society and environment. It's a firm, but resolute, quest for positive change in yourself aswell as society. |
