Judas
my mind is clearer now
at last
all too well
i can see
where we all
soon will be
if you strip away
the myth
from the man
you will see
where we all
soon will be
Jesus!
youand've started to believe
the things they say of you
you really do believe
this talk of god is true
And all the good youand've done
will soon be swept away
youand've begun to matter more
than the things you say
Listen jesus
i donand't like what i see
all i ask is that you listen to me
and remember
iand've been your right hand man all along
you have set them all on fire
they think theyand've found the new messiah
and theyand'll hurt you when they find theyand're wrong
I remember when this whole thing began
no talk of god then, we called you a man
and believe me
my admiration for you hasnand't died
but every word you say today
gets twisted and'round some other way
and theyand'll hurt you if they think youand've lied
Nazarethand's most famous son
should have stayed a great unknown
like his father carving wood
heand'd have made good
tables, chairs and oaken chests
would have suited jesus best
heand'd have caused nobody harm
no one alarm
Listen jesus, do you care for your race?
donand't you see we must keep in our place?
we are occupied
have you forgotten how put down we are?
i am frightened by the crowd
for we are getting much too loud
and theyand'll crush us if we go too far
if we go too far
Listen jesus to the warning i give
please remember that i want us to live
but itand's sad to see our chances weakening with evand'ry hour
all your followers are blind
too much heaven on their minds
it was beautiful, but now itand's sour
yes itand's all gone sour
ah --- ah ah ah --- ah
god jesus, itand's all gone sour
Listen jesus to the warning i give
please remember that i want us to live
so come on, come on, listen to me.
ah --- ah
come on, listen, listen to me.
come on and listen to me.
ah --- ah
