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
