PLEASE ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF
I’M A MAN OF WEALTH AND TASTE
I’VE BEEN AROUND HERE FOR MANY A LONG YEAR
STOLE MANY A MAN’S SOUL AND FAITH
I WAS AROUND WHEN JESUS CHRIST
HAD HIS MOMENTS 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 WHAT’S PUZZLING YOU IS THE NATURE OF MY GAME
I STUCK AROUND SAINT PETERSBURG
WHEN I SAW IT WAS A TIME FOR A CHANGE
KILLED THE TSAR AND HIS MINISTERS
ANASTASIA SCREAMED IN VAIN
I RODE A TANK
HELD THE GENERAL’S RANK
WHEN THE BLITZKRIEG RAGED
AND THE BODIES STANK
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
LET ME PLEASE INTRODUCE MYSELF
I’M A MAN OF WEALTH AND TASTE
AND I LAY TRAP FOR TROUBADOURS
WHO GET KILLED BEFORE THEY REACH BOMBAY
JUST AS EVERY COP IS A CRIMINAL
AND ALL THE SINNERS SAINTS
AS HEADS IS TAILS JUST CALL ME LUCIFER
CUZ 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-LEARNED POLITESSE
OR I’LL LAY YOUR SOUL TO WASTE
