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 gownSo you beat him at his games
So he had to change the rules
Please be cruelEvery 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 vegetarianSo 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 needsJudas'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 gownSo you beat him at his games
So he had to change the rules
Oh, please be cruelOh, please be cruel
Oh, please be cruel
Don't know if I shouldPlease be cruel
Please be cruel
Please be cruel
