Lyrics

Sold me out for a few shekels and divided up my robes
They sold me out
It's the oldest story that's ever been told
They sold me out
Didn't even give it no shred of doubt, no, no
They sold me out
Didn't even sit down and try to figure it out
They just sold me out
For a few shekels more, didn't even think twice
For a few shekels more, another minute in the spotlight
My own people did it to me just 'cause they could
They sold me out
So beware brother, it could happen to you
They sold me out
For a few shekels more, they didn't even think twice
Just for a few shekels more, another minute or two in the spotlight
My own people did it to me just 'cause they could
They sold me out
Got to beware brother, it just might happen to you
They sold me out
Sold me out for a few shekels and they divided up my robes
They sold me out
It's the oldest story that's ever been told
They sold me out
Sold me out for a few shekels and divided up my robes
They sold me out
It's the oldest story that's ever been knowed
They sold me out
They sold me out
They sold me out
They sold me out
