We need some new verses for "Sympathy For the Devil", I think..

my poor attempt..

"I ate some cake with John McCain,
while Louisiana's babies died in pain.

I strummed guitar on a western plain
while cries for help were screamed in vain.

I flew by in my fancy plane,
glancing at Biloxi's death by rain"

"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 lives to waste."

Pleased to meet you
Know you guessed my name,
And what�s Not puzzling you
Is the nature of my game.

Edits to Rolling Stone's version in italics.

Feel free to add or ignore!

1. Anyone have an email address for Mick?

We could probably just ask him if he'd do an updated version. Given "Sweet Neocon", I don't see him being all that unwilling...

2. Or Keith, who is the big N.O. enthusiast in the Stones

may even have lived down there at one point.

5. Even if Mick didn't like the lyrics...

he'd probably write new ones and they'd be at least as powerful.

Personally, I'd suggest doing it. I think an updated SftD could get airtime and would definitely get more people headscratching.

Ahriman (the destroyer)
Az (demon of greed)
Bushyasta (Demon of sloth)

How about this?

I flew over on my fancy plane,
Looking down death is my reign"
