==Meaning of the Song==

This song is very controversial. This is because most people assume that it just simply means that the [[Rolling Stones]] are devil worshippers. However, it has been interpreted in another way, as well. It has been interpreted as being a song showing that people allow [[Satan]] to control their world and that people allow Satan into their lives. The line "Please allow me to introduce myself/I'm a man of wealth and taste" (which is repeated throughout the song) refers to the devil's seemingly good promises. "Made damn sure that Pilate/Washed his hands and sealed his fate" refers to Pilate's being the killer of Jesus. "I rode a tank/Held a general's rank/When the Blitzkrieg raged/And the bodies stank" refers to WWII and Nazism, the bodies stinking is the concentration camps. "I watched with glee/While your kings and queens/Fought for ten decades/For the gods they made" refers to the hundred years war, which was fought over religious intolerance in Europe.
