It seems that since your brand of "conservatism" is capable of turning a blind eye to the celebration of death, destruction, and blasphemy embodied in the lyrics of "Sympathy for the Devil" perhaps we'll just jog your memory so that all can see what it is you choose to celebrate, and still try to call yourself a conservative, shall we?
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 mans 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
Sure, MarkL, I get it. "Lucifer" is still here and Jesus isn't. "Lucifer" wins and Jesus looses, is that it, MarkL? And "Lucifer" sealed Jesus' fate? Funny, that's not the way Scripture tells it, but if you're OK with that and statements like that are OK with what passes for your brand of "conservatism," and that this is the kind of stuff you derive enjoyment from celebrating in this song, I will just let that speak for itself.
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
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
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
Still digging all this imagery MarkL? Finding your "conservatism" edified by these lyrics, are you?
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
Who's "we" MarkL? Was it really you and me, MarkL? You need a history lesson, or are you still just enjoying the mind-numbing dis-information along with the beat?
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
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
Believe that too, do you, really, MarkL? There is no right and wrong? Or has this music just infiltrated your mind the point that it's all just so "relative?"
As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Lyrics like this are not an effrontery to your "conservative" philosophy? Really?
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
One's conservative and spiritual immaturity might be expected to celebrate such crap, and to determine that it's worth wasting 5 minutes of one's listening life on this dreck. In your case there appears no lack of a manifestation of immaturity in the either context.
