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 the flowers dying all around you Got your hands in the devils 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 to have 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've 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 bought the blood Again you lash out To hush the ones who know Couse 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 to have to say You had to kill to gain control again 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 your caught in the commotion All this and you trade it in for nothing A cheap lie you put it in your pocket All this and you trade it in for nothing Oh my I can see your heart has met it's 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
