It wasn’t my fault I had no choice
I had to speak up and give it voice
The way you run around it wasn’t fair
The way you hurt that girl and didn’t care
(Judas!) There you go again
(Judas!) Now I’m still your friend
(Judas!) Why are you torturing me
(Judas!) You know it’s plain to see
I couldn’t help it, I couldn’t shake loose
When she tied me up in that lover’s noose
Listen my friend don’t you hear my plea
I knew it was best if you set her free
(Judas!) There you go again
(Judas!) Now I’m still your friend
(Judas!) Why are you torturing me
(Judas!) You know it’s plain to see
Now don’t be foolish, put away that gun
Me and your lady just had some fun
Making me nervous with that look in your eye
I’m much too pretty and young to die
Don’t point that gun at me!
Don’t pull that trigger! (2)
Ow! You shot me!
Ow! Yeaaahhhh!
Now here I stand at the heavenly gate
Waiting for Gabriel to seal my fate
No troubles or worries are on my mind
I’m free of guilt and I’m feelin’ fine
(Judas!) What’s that you say?
(Judas!) Me go the other way?
(Judas!) Hey what’s goin’ on?
(Judas!) Now that’s plainly wrong!
(Judas!) But there’s been no sin
(Judas!) You know I’m still his friend
(Judas!) Hey! It’s gettin; hot in here!
(Judas!) let go of me don’t take me down there . . ..
