lyrics
Judas was a tag-along
Among a dozen vagabonds
Following a carpenter because he asked them to
Through feasts and miracles he stayed
And thirty silver coins were paid
And when his lips betrayed the son of man
He bought himself a field
O, rabbi, what we do to you.
I would kiss you brazenfaced
Embrace you with my fingers laced
But you’d send a screaming rooster
To show me my true loyalty
So build your temple on my back
Or call me Satan
But please just keep your lampstand
Burning next to me
We’ll hang the old man tonight
Just to kill him in the morning again
Just to kill him in the morning again
You gotta kill him every morning
Grab all the rope you can find
This is gonna take a long, long while
It’s gonna be more than a while
It’s gonna take the rest of my life
