Somebody had to do it Somebody had to be the one
Somebody had to do it Somebody had to get it done
Somebody had to do it For the Kingdom to come

Somebody had to do it Somebody had to follow his will
Somebody had to do it Somebody had to put him on that hill
Somebody had to do it for the prophecy to be fulfilled

CHORUS:
So God bless Peter God bless Paul
But God bless Judas for takin that fall
Because somebody had to do it

Somebody had to do it Wasn't gonna be one a them guys from Galilee
Somebody had to do it Wasn't gonna be one a them guys from Galilee
Somebody had to do it So I guess it had to be me

He said, One of you will betray me, and he looked me right in the eye
I said, I don't wanna be the one Lord, that causes you to die
He said, Now Judas you know these fishermen'll never get through it
And somebody, somebody's gotta do it

repeat CHORUS

Here, take this money they said, Do you know where he is?
Thirty pieces of silver right in your hand, You can betray him with just a kiss
I said, He's down in the grove there, with those Nazarene friends of his

And after it was over and they'd killed him I went
Back up to the Temple and I took every cent
I flung it at their feet with not a penny spent
I said, You've killed the musician, I was just his instrument

So God bless Peter, God bless Paul
But God bless Judas for takin that fall
Cause somebody, o somebody, somebody had to do it
