Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
Been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul to waste
[Verse 2]
I was around when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
[Verse 3]
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
'Cause what's confusing you is just the nature of my game
[Verse 4]
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
I killed the Tsar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank in a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank
[Verse 5]
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
'Cause what's puzzling you is just the nature of my game
[Verse 6]
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
'Cause what's confusing you is just the nature of my game
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for the troubadours
Who got killed before they reached Bombay
[Verse 9]
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's confusing you is just the nature of my game
[Verse 10]
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners, saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
And I'm in need of some restraint
[Verse 11]
So if you meet me, have some courtesy
Have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well learned politics
Or I'll lay your soul to waste
[Verse 12]
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is just the nature of my game
