lyrics

Thirty pieces of silver has purchased me
a limb with you tonight
I don't need no forgiveness or sympathy
I've got four feet of twine
just this one kiss has earned my commission
but low, my cost was too real
how'd you feel if it was me that was crucified
and you: the leviathan's meal

Was I jealous then, when I saw you were smiling with him
am I forsaken then, I only did as was told
am I stupid then, I thought you my Rabbi and my friend
am I forsaken then, I only did as was told

Was it that I wasn't your rock or baptist
and not your whore, you needed more
not enough that I loved you best
sat down for Seder and was dismissed: you requested this

Venona/NKVD . . . KGB
a true Zealot no Pharisee/Philistine
I face HUAC and burn while you trumpet the ram-horn

Thirty pieces of silver has purchased me
a limb with you tonight
I don't know if you're Stalin or Jesus Christ
Joe Steel drape me in finest Red Lenin
when time comes that I'm crucified
I don't know if you're Stalin or Jesus Christ

And you inspired us all
this greatest of deeds, I lay at your feet
while I betrayed us all, my profound defeat
united and free
