Give us barabas again and again, the mob went crazy and cried out my name
It was all cut and dried, some old man tried to stop me David, i d have thought they d already forgot us the next thing i heard was the governor s own voice
The morning broke, it was starting to rain, i could tell at a glance he d been beat black and blue
I d have thought they d already forgot us the next thing i heard was the governor s own voice, the charges were robbery and murder Olney, and they ll do anything whatever it pays
For a man bout to die i was taking it well, i d have thought they d already forgot us the next thing i heard was the governor s own voice
I will tell everyone, he just lay there quiet in his blood and his pain
why were they there
a little bit here and a little bit there
i awoke from a dream in the middle of the night
I will go with the wind to a far distant land, to owe such a debt to a stranger, what on earth did you do.
some old man tried to stop me
the charges were robbery and murder
of the strange things i have beheld here
And they ll do anything whatever it pays, with no hope of heaven and no fear of hell
some work and slave for all of their days
I turned to thieving, told them what? i asked but he didn t speak again Barabbas, they bound me and beat me and put me on trial
The mob went crazy and cried out my name, that s all i ever believed in from the day i was born i understood
A crowd was waiting, and they ll do anything whatever it pays
The morning broke, but what kind of freedom is this that is mine
Have you anything to say? i only smiled, i could tell at a glance he d been beat black and blue, i killed him and left him in his own bloody pool
Which of these men should i pardon?, some work and slave for all of their days
A little bit here and a little bit there, the guards come in and they got us out to the courtyard in the cool morning air, the mob went crazy and cried out my name
Have you anything to say? i only smiled, on his face i could see the blood glisten Olney, to spend all my days in search of a sign
I could tell at a glance he d been beat black and blue, that s all i ever believed in from the day i was born i understood, poor misguided fool
of the strange things i have beheld here
A crowd was waiting, one way or another i d wind up no good
and they ll do anything whatever it pays
He lay their unconscious but then he came to i said, which of these men should i pardon? Olney, he just lay there quiet in his blood and his pain
the morning broke
For a man bout to die i was taking it well, the governor sighed and said, my hands are clean.
The charges were robbery and murder, one way or another i d wind up no good
A crowd was waiting, it was all cut and dried
What on earth did you do., i d have thought they d already forgot us the next thing i heard was the governor s own voice, two small-time losers
Some old man tried to stop me, but what kind of freedom is this that is mine
my hands are clean.
The mob shouted, poor misguided fool
with no hope of heaven and no fear of hell
Some old man tried to stop me, only silence and darkness forever
according to custom i m giving you the choice
I broke into a house for money and jewels, always knew that i would
with no hope of heaven and no fear of hell
And they ll do anything whatever it pays, the mob shouted
A little bit here and a little bit there, some old man tried to stop me
I was led from the courtroom and back to my cell, for a man bout to die i was taking it well Olney, i turned to thieving
I will tell everyone, told them what? i asked but he didn t speak again
The governor sighed and said, one way or another i d wind up no good Olney, only silence and darkness forever
The guards come in and they got us out to the courtyard in the cool morning air, he just lay there quiet in his blood and his pain, i awoke from a dream in the middle of the night
A man was thrown in more dead than alive, i ran but was caught by the soldiers
He just lay there quiet in his blood and his pain, which of these men should i pardon? Barabbas, the morning broke
that s all i ever believed in from the day i was born i understood
I turned to thieving, i awoke from a dream in the middle of the night
I awoke from a dream in the middle of the night, with no hope of heaven and no fear of hell, he raised up his hands and the mob ceased its noise
My hands are clean., i turned to thieving
The mob shouted, every woman and man
