Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a
man of wealth and taste
Pleased to meet
you, hope you guess my name
I stuck around St. Petersburg,
when I saw it was time for a change
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
I watched with glee while your kings and queens, fought
for 10 decades for the gods they made
Pleased to meet
you, hope you guess my name
Just as every cop is a criminal and all the sinners saints
I've been around for many a long year, sold many a man's soul
and faith
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
Killed the Tsar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank, held a general's rank when the Blitzkrieg
raged and the bodies stank
I shouted out, "Who killed the Kennedys?" when after all, it
as you and me
Let me please introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste
I laid traps for troubadours, who got killed before they reached
Bombay
Just as heads is tails, call me lucifer, cos
I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me have some courtesy, have some sympathy and
some taste
Use all your well learnt politics, or I'll lay your soul to
waste
