Lyrics for 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 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 the few shekels more They didn't even think twice For a few shekels more Another minute in the spotlight My own people did it to me just 'cos they could They sold me out So beware brother it could happen to you They sold me out For the few shekels more, they didn't even think twice Just for a few shekels more Another minute of two in the spotlight My own people did it to me just 'cos 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 known They sold me out They sold me out They sold me out They sold me out
