If I may be so bold (am I ever not?), only someone who has committed intellectual suicide would lambast the iconic Lady Gaga on her most recent record, "Judas," trying to say that she is a heretic or sacrilegious with her lyrical content. One need only look a bit deeper to see the meaning behind the storyline; namely, the age-old, universally human struggle of Good & Evil, and the poignant but undeniable fact that we often times tend to lean towards the dark. She herself has come around to saying that while she is a skeptic Catholic - aren't we all - she is a believer in God, and is merely using the Biblical references as a microcosmic metaphor for the much greater human struggle. See for yourselves...
JUDAS
Music & Lyrics: S. Germanotta
INTRO:
Oh-oh-oh-ohoo
I'm in love with Juda-as, Juda-as
Oh-oh-oh-ohoo
I'm in love with Juda-as, Juda-as
VAMP:
Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas GaGa
Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas GaGa
VERSE:
When he comes to me, I am ready
I'll wash his feet with my hair if he needs
Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain
Even after three times, he betrays me
I'll bring him down, bring him down, down
A king with no crown, king with no crown
CHORUS:
I'm just a Holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
I'm just a Holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
Oh-oh-oh-ohoo
I'm in love with Juda-as, Juda-as
Oh-oh-oh-ohoo
I'm in love with Juda-as, Juda-as
VAMP:
Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas GaGa
VERSE:
I couldn't love a man so purely
Even darkness forgave his crooked way
I've learned love is like a brick, you can
Build a house or sink a dead body
I'll bring him down, bring him down, down
A king with no crown, king with no crown
CHORUS:
I'm just a Holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
I'm just a Holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
Oh-oh-oh-ohoo
I'm in love with Juda-as, Juda-as
Oh-oh-oh-ohoo
I'm in love with Juda-as, Juda-as
BREAK:
EW
BRIDGE:
In the most Biblical sense,
I am beyond repentance
Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind
But in the cultural sense
I just speak in future tense
Judas kiss me if offensed,
Or wear ear condom next time
I wanna love you,
But something's pulling me away from you
Jesus is my virtue,
Judas is the demon I cling to
I cling to
CHORUS:
I'm just a Holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
I'm just a Holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby
Oh-oh-oh-ohoo
I'm in love with Juda-as, Juda-as
Oh-oh-oh-ohoo
I'm in love with Juda-as, Juda-as
VAMP:
Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas Juda-a-a, Judas GAGA
