Judas's friends have got so strong   It's through the way they made you carry someone else's wrong   I've seen the way he ties you down   To blind man's bluff in a bridal gown      So you beat him at his games   So he had to change the rules   Please be cruel      Every word that's spoken's ringing in your ears   This light we look upon has gone and passed a thousand years   He says you're mutton dressed as lamb   But he's a vegetarian      So you live to fight another day   But you get weaker every way   Please be cruel      'Cause you're a woman who needs persuading   Never needed anybody   To affect this change your life so badly needs      Judas's friends have got so strong   It's through the way they made you carry someone else's wrong   I've seen the way he ties you down   To blind man's bluff in a bridal gown      So you beat him at his games   So he had to change the rules   Oh, please be cruel      Oh, please be cruel   Oh, please be cruel   Don't know if I should      Please be cruel   Please be cruel   Please be cruel
