Hey listen, don't you let them get your mind Fill your brain with orders and that's not right They're playing at a game that draws you closer 'Til you're living in a world that's ruled by fear Always takin' baby out that's OK What they're givin' maybe it's out of phase with me Told you one you're never gonna win the race Same old no tomorrow kicked in the face We are screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is a manacled place Screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is defiled in disgrace Tie a blindfold all around your head Spin you 'round in the torture before the dread And then you're pushed and shoved into every corner Then they lead you out into the final slaughter As the sweat is runnin' down your neck All your praying for's to stop your body breakin' up Oh, your heart is pumpin', gonna soon explode Got to fight the horror of this mental load We are screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is a manacled place Screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is defiled in disgrace So you wait it out and bide your time Rip off that straight jacket gotta break that line Everyone who wins in the great escape Leaves a thousand more who suffer in their wake I don't talk about it but that's alright Table's turned now there's a revenge in sight If it takes forever babe I tell ya I can wait Send them screaming back through their hell's own gate We are screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is a manacled place Screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is defiled in disgrace Screaming Screaming vengeance Screaming vengeance Screaming

The Romans were the masters When Jesus walked the land In Judea and in Galilee They ruled with an iron hand The poor were sick with hunger And the rich were clothed in splendour And the rebels, whipped and crucified Hung rotting as a warning And Jesus knew the answer - "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's" Said, "Love your enemies" But Judas was a Zealot and he Wanted to be free "Resist", he said, "the Romans' tyranny" Now Jesus was a conjuror, Miracles were his game He fed the hungry thousands And they glorified his name He cured the lame and leper He calmed the wind and the weather And the wretched flocked to touch him So their troubles would be taken And Jesus knew the answer - "All you who labour, all you who suffer Only believe in me" But Judas sought a world where no-one Starved or begged for bread "The poor are always with us", Jesus said Chorus So stand up, stand up for Judas And the cause that Judas served It was Jesus who betrayed the poor with his word Now Jesus sowed division Where none had been before Not the slave against the master But the poor against the poor Caused son to rise up against father And brother to fight against brother For "He that is not with me Is against me" was his teaching Said Jesus, "I am the answer You unbelievers shall burn forever Shall die in your sins" "Not sheep or goats" said Judas but "Together we may dare Shake off the chains of tyranny we share" Chorus So stand up, stand up for Judas And the cause that Judas served It was Jesus who betrayed the poor with his word Jesus stood upon the mountain With a distance in his eyes "I am the Way, the Life" he cried "The Light that never dies So renounce all earthly treasures And pray to your heavenly father" And he pacified the hopeless With the hope of life eternal Said Jesus, "I am the answer And you who hunger only remember Your reward's in heaven" So Jesus preached the other world But Judas wanted this And he betrayed his master with a kiss Chorus So stand up, stand up for Judas And the cause that Judas served It was Jesus who betrayed the poor with his word By sword and gun and crucifix Christ's gospel has been spread And two thousand cruel years have shown The way that Jesus led The heretics burned and tortured And the butchering bloody Crusaders The bombs and rockets sanctified That rain down death from heaven They followed Jesus, they knew the answer All unbelievers must be believers Or else be broken "So place no trust in saviours" Judas said, "for everyone Must be to his or her own self a sun"
