Judas Songtext

von Cage The Elephant

The time has finally come, you get a mouth full
You only act on greed and by your actions this is proved
And can't you see all the flowers dyin' all around you?
Got your hands in the devil's pockets, got everything to loose

And so you lash out
To crush the ones below
Or all the ones that you fear most
And you call this crowd control
Well, let me break it down for ya

The fire in your veins is just a joke you tell yourself
Another way to cut the cost, hide your face from all the guilt
And is a shame you had to say you had to kill to gain control
But at least you made some money, hey, let the good times roll

It's your dream to be the king of all creation
As far as I'm concerned you hung you shadow on the wall
And though your fingers never really pulled the trigger
Your hands are just as guilty, you're the one who brought the blood

Again you lash out to hush the ones who know
'Cause they're the ones that you fear most
And it's called damage control
Well, let me break it down for ya

The fire in your veins is just a joke you tell yourself
Another way to cut the cost, hide your face from all the guilt
And is a shame you had to say you had to kill to gain control
But at least you made some money, hey, let the good times roll

Oh, my, the greed has now consumed you
Your eyes fade as you fell into the ocean
You move fast to feed your lust for money
You dive down, now you're caught in the commotion
All this and you traded it for nothin'
A cheap lie, you put it in your pocket
All this and you traded it for nothin'
Oh, my, I can see you heart has met its end

Say hello to Judas
Say hello to Judas
Say hello to Judas
Say hello to Judas
Say hello to Judas
Say hello to Judas
Say hello to Judas
Ohhh
