Jagger the Dagger Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jagger doing the devil dance
Just a victim of circumstance
Jagger wheeling the rolling stone
He and the devil know he's all alone
Jagger lived in the world a while
Now he's learning the devil's style
Jagger playing a heavy game
Free from guilt and he's free from shame

[Verse 2]
Jagger sucking the source of life
Slashing the pig with a horny knife
Jagger merging the sexes now
Just stand back and he'll show you how
Jagger's organ will play the tune
He will watch the heavens open soon
Jagger doing the devil dance
Just a victim of circumstance

[Outro]
Jagger the dagger (Repeat to fade)

Genius Annotation

The infamous Mick Jagger dis from Eugene McDaniels' Headless Heroes album, a record that bombed on its release but is now revered by crate diggers and funk heads. The song first resurfaced in the 90s after being sampled for the interlude on People’s Instinctive Travels by A Tribe Called Quest.

The lyrics paint Jagger as a man in cahoots with the devil. The reason for this is anyone’s guess but the title and many of the lyrics point to Altamont, the 1969 concert at which a black teen was stabbed to death by Hell’s Angels while the Stones were playing.
