Blackbird

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste.
I've been around for a long, long year--stole many a man's soul and faith.
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
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 politesse or I'll lay your soul to waste
