Strange Thing Mystifying Song Lyrics
JUDAS
It seems to me a strange thing, mystifying
That a man like you can waste his time on women of her kind.
SIMON
Hey, cool it man.
JUDAS
Yes, I can understand that she amuses,
But to let her kiss you, stroke your hair, that's hardly in your line.
It's not that I object to her profession,
But she doesn't fit in well with what you teach and say.
It doesn't help us if you're inconsistent.
They only need a small excuse to put us all away.
JESUS
Who are you to criticise her?
Who are you to despise her?
Leave her, leave her, let her be now.
Leave her, leave her, she's with me now.
If your slate is clean, then you can throw stones.
If your slate is not, then leave her alone.
I'm amazed that men like you can be so shallow, thick and slow
There is not a man among you who know or cares if I come or go.
ALL (save Judas and Jesus)
No, you're wrong!
You're very wrong!
No, you're wrong!
You're very wrong!
No, you're wrong!
You're very wrong!
No, you're wrong!
You're very wrong!
How can you say that?
How can you say that?
How can you say that?
How can you say that?
JESUS
Not one, not one of you!
About
May, 07th 2014Jesus, in response, challenges Judas' moral authority to judge or cobdemn the woman. His words, "Who are you to criticise her? Who are you to despise her?" serve as a powerful rebuke against hypocrisy and judgment. Jesus advocates for compassion and understanding over condemnation, highlighting the idea that no one is without flaw and therefore not in a position to cast judgment on others. This perspective underscores a central tenet of his teachings: the embrace of empathy and forgiveness over moral superiority.
The song thus juxtaposes two distinct viewpoints within the narrative. On one side is Judas, concerned with practical implications and societal norms, and on the other is Jesus, who emphasizes deeper spiritual values and the importance of non-judgmental acceptance. This conflict between earthly concerns and spiritual ideals is a recurring theme in the musical and reflects broader philosophical and ethical questions about judgment, morality, and compassion.
