Lyrics:
Please allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
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
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersberg
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 generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Whats puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee as 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
Let me please introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah
Well, get down, hit it
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But whats confusin’ you is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails just call me Lucifer
Cause Im 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 Ill lay your soul to waste, mmm yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, mmm yeah
But whats puzzling you is the nature of my game
