Ozzy Osbourne - Sympathy For The Devil Lyrics

IS the best cover.

5 covers in this album?

patetic version

Guns Roses cover is the best

GnR cover is HORRIBLE

I like both.

Never thought that Ozzy would/could ruin this.

I've read like 75% of the comments on this and this is the only negative one I'm seeing xD

GNR did it better.

What is he saying at the end of the song? "I am the devil, too.." and what? I can't understand. Can someone help me?

"I am the devil too, there can only be one devil so one of us must go"

@jfoley1987 thank you, man!!!!!

Never liked the original but I could tolerate this version.

This is Epic. Never heard it until accidentally today.

Ozzy just dropped the mic on this song. There is no other version now. My god that is fire.

After all it was you and me...

Beautiful!

I bet when this version came out, some metal head some where went "Well it's about Damned Time!!!"

I'm not sure, but with a speed 1.25 its looks better?

Антон Сидоренко Yah... its waaaay better LOL

I swear there's a comment like this on almost every song on YouTube

Out of all the bands and solo performers that did a cover of this song that I know of, I like this one the best.

It's like every version of this song is a different version of Lucifer.

Jagger's orignal version plays heavily on the "classy aristocrat" trope for the devil, a literal silver tongued devil.

Lemmy's version is the idea of a behemoth; Satan made into a monster of death, lust, and destruction.

Ozzy's version is like a wicked retch, a sick old man of a devil who does horrible things, like giving newborns bone cancer.

I like it

So true

Good analysis 👍

Have you ever heard the Jonathan Round cover from 1971? I think it's the best one of all. I was 16 when it came out. It's on YT.

Would like to here the actual Lucifer song . What's it called who sang it?? Not the t. V . Show it was done years after....

I really like Ozzy and Sabbath but this cover is pretty shit.

Sadly but very true

Please, listen the Peter Capusotto version, it has no waste

Ozzy rocked in the 70's and ROCKS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!great twist on an o.k. song, so much better that the original!!!!!!!!!!!!

nothing ever really tops an original though wether it be a movie or song or whatever, the original is 9 times out of ten the best

awesome ozzy as always making a great cover viva la madre que lo pario

*I've listened to this song covered by many bands, gotta say this one is a little to bouncy or cartoon like! Now I love Black Sabbath and Ozzy's music as much as the next metal head, but this cover is kinda laughable!*

Nick Nocturne sent me 🧐

He doesn't know the fucking lyrics. Let alone what planet he's on or how to sing in key. Why do people like this clown?

Wow chill Debbie downer, what's with the bitterness??

Did ozzy fuck ur dad

Fabulous! But I’m an old Ozzy freak.

Ozzy I am huge fan though cam bummed you moved the mountain view ca. concert to July

long live Ozzy

Way better than Guns and Roses awful version. At least Ozzy takes a different approach.

Of course, Satan made sure Jesus was crucified, it was such an important stage in the development of humanity's collective soul. It was not out of malice, he was just doing his job as the Adversary. Humans need to see a thousand years of the Church's cruelty and brutality to understand the need to move past it to a time when one decides one's own fate through will and gnosis. People are surprised when I tell them I am a satanist but then tell them I do hate Christians and harbor no animosity towards them. In fact, I respect and admire a few. They are doing their part, representing one half of the All's mind. I am doing mine by speaking for the other half. Its the modern cult of mechanism and materialism that I feel posses the greatest threat to humanity's enlightenment. I really don't even debate the matter with atheists. I won't convince them, and I couldn't care less. I am just thankful I have chosen spirituality to enhance my existence

Disco Devil :-0

Yeah the original makers this song with the Rolling Stones but Ozzy really does it a whole lot better he just has that certain Flair you know what I'm saying

The original is one of my most fav Stone songs. And prior to hearing this, I read in reviews that this wasn't a good version, but I dig it. It might be the best track on the album.

Ozzy, you are the Prince of Darkness. A great theme song for you!

I didn't know he did a cover of this song

Motorhead and guns n roses did cover

Now you know the rest of the story.

@Gilberto Diaz motorhead did a pretty good cover

....he didn't. This is horrible.

If you could live forever what would you do to watch all of your loved ones die to see things pass and go but you could never hold on to them how would you like to live forever to be all alone never known always lurking in the rain and never find a dry Place how would you like to live forever always dark and never light crawling in the black crevice to save your life how would you like to live forever on blood you have to feast for most it is a burden but for me it is accursed Beast how would you like to live forever begging to die to set me free how would you like to live forever I ask you this do you have an answer for me

You call it a curse, I call it a blessing

Ya, I have an answer for you. You forgot why you wanted to live forever in the first place. ( That, and you get to have all the time in the world to learn how to use a "frucking" period at the end of a sentence .)....... I misspelled that for a reason .

Hey Jimmy go fuck yourself

Ozzy Osbourne - Sympathy For The Devil - Lyrics

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long time
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was around 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, oh yeah
But what's 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 general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Oh, pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is 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 who killed the kennedys?
After all it was you and me
Let me introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I laid traps for the troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

Every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners are saints
Heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

What's my name?
What's my name?
What's my name?
I am lucifer
Wooooooo
Alright you mother fucker's
What's my name?
What's my name?
Come on baby, come on baby, come on baby, come on baby,

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

Rolling Stones is my fav band №1, but this song is the only one i dislike. Ozzy changed it :D

Marat Sh I like the stones original version
Better myself. And I love Ozzy... But sorry to
Say. In my opinion.
Izzy hacked. Sorry didn't like it.

I think Ozzy kicked some serious ass on this song. In my opinion this is better and more well put together and musically mixed than the original.

I totally agree with you

This song is good but the original is a masterpiece

@Trevin Rook true

fuck no its a great cover but the original is the best by far

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long time
Stole many a man's soul and faith
I was around 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, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

Fought for ten decades for the gods they made
I shouted who killed the Kennedy?
After all it was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I laid traps for the troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
Every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners are saints
Heads is tails just call me Lucifer
I'm in need of some restraint
