Argument Lyrics
JESUSPeter will deny my in Just a few hours.
Three times will deny me,
And that's not all I see.
One of you here dining,
One of my twelve chosen
Will leave to betray me.
JUDASCut out the dramatics! You know very well who...
JESUSWhy don't you go do it?
JUDASYou want me to do it!
JESUSHurry, they are waiting...
JUDASIf you knew why I do it...
JESUSI don't care why you do it!
JUDASTo think I admired you.
For now I despise you.
JESUSYou liar. You Judas...
JUDASYou want me to do it!
What if I just stayed here
And runied your ambition.
Christ you deserve it.
JESUSHurry, you fool. Hurry and go.
Save me your speeches, I don't want to know. Go!
APOSTLESLook at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine.
What's that in the bread? It's gone to my head,
'Till this morning is this evening, life is fine.Always hoped that I'd be an apostle.
Knew that I would make it if I tried.
Then when we retire, we can write the Gospels,
So they'll all talk about us when we've died.
JUDASYou sad, pathetic man, see where you've brought us to,
Our ideals die around us and it's all because of you.
And now the sadest cut of all:
Someone has to turn you in.
Like a common criminal, like a wounded animal.
A jaded mandarin,
A jaded mandarin,
As a jaded, jaded, faded, jaded, jaded mandarin.
JESUSGet out they're waiting!
Get out, they are waiting!
Oh, they're waiting for you!
JUDASEverytime I look at you I don't understand
Why you let the things you did get so out of hand.
You'd have managed better if you had it planned...
APOSTLESLook at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine.
Don't disturb me now. I can see the answers,
Till this evening is this morning, life is fine.Always hoped that I'd be an apostle.
Knew that I would make it if I tried.
Then when we retire, we can write the Gospels,
So they'll all talk about us when we've died.
JESUSWill no one stay awake with me?
Peter, John, James?
Will none of you wait with me?
Peter, John, James?
