lyrics

Well one day you saw Camelot and walked through its halls
and were a knight in shining armour with justice for all
but then one day you traded it in
for a three piece suit and a mercedes benz
then one day you traded it in
for thirty silver coins

Sold all your dreams
for thirty silver coins
Sold all your dreams
for thirty silver coins

well you rented yourself a bulldozer blade
and then you bulldozed camelot away
and now where once the round table stood
is a pay parking lot for your very own good
how I listened when you talked of peace and love
but I guess there's more profit in hate and war
I guess peace and love just ain't worth damn
when it can all be sold for thirty silver coins

[chorus]

well one day you could have changed the world
an end to hunger, an end to war
but then you forgot what you were dreaming for
and let it all go in drugs and free love
Well you say you're not sorry, you say all is well
that the world is all pleasure and everything's swell
when what you mean is that you got gold for yourself
and you don't give a damn about anyone else

[chorus]
but in the ruins of the american dream
where the big boys pillage and the children scream
invisible people struggle to survive
and you hope that no one pierces your disguise

well Judas had the grace to hang himself in shame
you stand there before me and say it ain't the same
I guess that's what you say when you sold all your dreams
sold all your dreams for thirty silver coins

Sold all your dreams
for thirty silver coins
Sold all your dreams
for thirty silver coins
