Argument

Peter will deny me
In just a few hours
Three times will deny me
And that's not all I see
One of you here dining
One of my twelve chosen
Will leave to betray me!

Cut the dramatics!
You know very well who

Why don't you go do it?

You want me to do it?

Hurry, they all waiting

If you knew why I do it -

I don't care why you do it!

To think I admired you!
Well, now I despise you!

You liar! You Judas!

You want me to do it?
What if I just stayed here
And ruined your ambition?
Christ, you deserve it!

Hurry, you fool, hurry and go
Save me your speeches
I don't want to know!
Go!

Look at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine
What's that in the bread?
It's gone to my head
Till this morning is this evening
Life is fine

Always hoped that I'd be an apostle
Knew that I would make it if I tried
Then when we retire
We can write the gospels
So they'll all talk about us when we die

You sad, pathetic man!
See where you've brought us to
Ideals die around us
And it's all because of you
And the saddest cut of all
Someone has to turn you in!
Like a common criminal
Like a wounded animal

A jaded mandarin
A jaded mandarin
As a jaded, jaded, faded, jaded, jaded mandarin

Get out, they're waiting!
Get out, they're waiting
Oh, they're waiting for you

Every time I look at you I don't understand
Why you let the things you did
Get so out of hand
You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned
Oh, oh

Look at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine (pool of wine)
Don't disturb me now
I can see the answers
Till this evening is this morning
Life is fine

Always hoped that I'd be an apostle
Knew that I would make it if I tried (if I tried)
Then when we retire
We can write the gospels
So they'll all talk about us when we die

Will no one stay awake with me?
Peter - John - James
Will none of you wait with me?
Peter - John - James
