Judas Saves Lyrics

I hear a voice
I hear a voice
Calling calling calling me

With a voice inside my head
He spoke to me and softly said
Perfection ends when life begins
But it can come back again

I hear a voice
I hear a voice
Calling calling calling me

Then He said if I could hide
My faith inside my broken pride
He would find complete success
Where innocence embraces death

I hear a voice
I hear a voice
Calling calling calling me

Now it is so clear
He must appear
To be betrayed
So we can be saved

No one can see
Clearly but me

I know I must answer the call

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is easily one of the Residents' finest moments. Simply amazing.

It makes one wonder... who really founded christianity as a religion (or fervent cult); Jesus or Judas?
