Lyrics Judas - Cage The Elephant

Judas

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 dying all around you
Got your hands in the devil’s pockets
Got everything to lose
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 you
The fire in your veins is just a joke you tell yourself
Another way to cut the cost to hide your face from all the guilt
And it’s 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 your 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 you
The fire in your veins is just a joke you tell yourself
Another way to cut the cost to hide your face from all the guilt
And it’s 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 fall 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 trade it in for nothing
A cheap lie.
You put it in your pocket
All this.
Yeah, you trade it in for nothing
Oh, my!
I can see your 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
