On the 7th track to his band’s album Hair of the Dog, Dan McCafferty expresses how he doesn’t want to be betrayed by using Bible character Judas as a metaphor. Judas is infamous as being the apostle that betrayed Jesus in the New Testament.
[Verse 1]
Please don't Judas me, treat me as you'd like to be treated
Please don't blacklist me, lave me as you'd wish to find me
Don't analyse me, sacrifice me
Please don't Judas me
[Verse 2]
Please don't chastise me, show me just one shred of kindness
Try to help me see, guide me in my eyes of blindness
Don't despise me, categorise me
Please don't Judas me
[Chorus]
No, no, don't Judas me
No, please don't Judas me
[Verse 3]
Please don't head shrink me, don't disguise your innuendos
Give no lies to me, I can see the way the wind blows
Don't debase me, annihilate me
Please don't Judas me
[Verse 4]
Please don't number me, don't betray my trust and promise
Please don't anger me, I find it hard to bear no malice
Don't frustrate me, manipulate me
Please don't Judas me
[Chorus]
No, no, don't Judas me
No, please don't Judas me
