Judge Not Lyrics

Don't you look at me so smugly
And say I'm going bad
Who are you to judge me
And the life I got I live
I know that I'm not perfect
And that I don't live to be
So before you hint your finger
Show your hands are clean

Judge not,
Before you judge yourself
Judge not,
If you're not ready for judgement, ohoho

The road of life is rocky
And you missed on the doom
So why you talk about me
Someone else is judging you

Judge not,
Before you judge yourself
Judge not,
If you're not ready for judgement, ohoho

The road of life is rocky
And you mist on to do
So why you talk about me
Someone else is judging you
Someone else is judging you
Someone else is judging you
Someone else is judging you

oh my fuckin goodness! hahaha, these lyrics are so incredibly wrong! Like almost every line has a very significant word, wrong, thus fucking with the intended meanoing and shit, bah humbug. Oh well, haha. Tis such a fuckin amazing song with such a very lovely and imporant point. Easy to understand, obvious and very true point. Good comparisons and shit. Lovelovelove. Good one, Bob-o!

Hi guys,

Doin' well?

I agree these lyrics are wrong. Check these out as they seems to be slightly better:


Don't you look at me so smug And say I'm going bad. Who are you to judge me And the life that I live?

I know that I'm not perfect And that I don't claim to be. So before you point your fingers, Be sure your hands are clean.

Judge not Before you judge yourself. Judge not If you're not ready for judgement. Woah oh oh!

The road of life is rocking And you may stumble too. So while you talk about me, someone else is judging you.

Judge not Before you judge yourself. Judge not If you're not ready for judgement. Woah oh oh!

The road of life is rocky And you may stumble too. So while you talk about me Someone else is judging you, Someone else is judging you, Someone else is judging you, Someone else is judging you, Someone else is judging you...


It is rather pointless to share my interpretation here, because these lyrics, in the meaning of their meaning, are very simple leaving no place for many ways of interpretation. Well, like most of his lyrics. Actually, that was the idea - to write simply and in an understoodable way mostly about all the difficult things, so that everybody could understand the point. Using many proverbs and so on, and on.

Obviously, I might be all wrong... Sorry for not being sure about that.

Enjoy the day, guys!
