Please allow me to introduce myself.....
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long years
Stole many a man's 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 what's 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 general's rank....
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank.

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name....
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game...

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 laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay.

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name,
but what's puzzling you
Is 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 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 politics...
Or I'll lay your soul to waste!

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name....
But what's CONFUSING you
Is the nature of my game....

That would be funny if I wasn't thinking that it might be so true..... maybe Dean could use this one:

And I went down to the demonstration To get my fair share of abuse Singing, "we’re gonna vent our frustration If we don’t we’re gonna blow a 50-amp fuse" You can’t always get what you want

Poor Dean, he doesn't need one...
Clark needs to come clean, maybe Madonna could sing this song for him?

Now that I've thought about it, I really don't want these guys to ruin good songs. I like your Madonna idea much better...

I'm sure Clark is looking at all the red states, and laughing.

Very fitting, LM, and one BRILLIANT song. I still am amazed The Stones wrote so many great, great lyrics....'Generally speaking' that is.
