Like Pancho and Lefty, but with Jesus I guess. Source material is uh, the bible. And the POV is Judas.

lyrics

He said god damn; this thing ain't going like I planned
There's people telling stories, things are gettin out of hand

I got a whole damn nation of people lookin to me to lead the way
He said I need you to help me out, I got a role for you to play

How much would you trade
For a friend, if he asked you to take the blame
Could the debt be paid
To live forever without a name

He said that he and the local chief, they'd drawn the whole thing up
Like a witness protection program for messiahs who'd had enough

But to pull the scheme off there were two more things that he would need
A man to take his place in the chair and another to take the heat

You mighta heard that I took a short rope for a long ride
That I bought me a farm and opened up my insides

Tell me do you have a clue
What two thousand years of compound interest on thirty bucks can do
