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 And 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. petersburg 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 Ah, whats puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah 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 Im a man of wealth and taste And I laid traps for troubadours Who get killed before they reached bombay Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But whats puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But whats confusing 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, um yeah Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, um yeah But whats puzzling you Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down Woo, who Oh yeah, get on down Oh yeah Oh yeah !

Cette chanson met en lumière un personnage charismatique qui se présente comme un homme ayant accumulé richesse et culture, et qui semble avoir laissé sa marque à travers l’histoire. Il évoque son rôle dans des événements marquants, de la crucifixion de Jésus aux meurtres célèbres, insinuant qu’il a orchestré des désastres tout en se moquant des luttes des puissants pour des idéaux imaginaires. À travers ses paroles, il souligne l’ambiguïté morale du monde, où les figures d'autorité et les pécheurs sont souvent interchangeables. Le contexte pourrait être compris comme une réflexion sur l’illusion de la bonne moralité et les luttes de pouvoir tout au long de l’histoire humaine. C’est aussi une manière de questionner la nature du mal, représentant le personnage comme à la fois fascinant et redoutable, un miroir de nos propres contradictions.
