What if there's no truth
or the truth just sounds like lies
would you recognise it anyway
see through its disguise
Would you trumpet its arrival
play a fanfare in its name
or would you sneak in quietly
like a thief avoiding shame
Have you lost sight of whats important?
In our greatest hour of need,
will you stand up and be counted,
or count the profits from your greed.
What happened to integrity
common sense and pride
Did you give them up by choice
or were they forfeit when you lied
So keep your silver, Judas
it matter not how much you give
The truth of whats behind you
is with what you now must live.

or were they forfeit when you lied
So keep your silver, Judas
