Lyrics

The Judge

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Na, na, na, na, ooh, oh

Na, na, na, na, ooh, oh

Na, na, na, na, ooh, oh

When the leader of the bad guys sang

Something soft and soaked in pain

I heard the echo from his secret hideaway

He must've forgot to close his door

As he cranked out those dismal chords

And his four walls declared him insane

I found my way

Right time, wrong place

As I pled my case

You're the judge, oh, no

Set me free

You're the judge, oh, no

Set me free

I know my soul's freezing

Hell's hot for good reason

So please, take me

Na, na, na, na, ooh, oh

Na, na, na, na, ooh, oh

Na, na, na, na, ooh, oh

Three lights are lit, but the fourth one's out

I can tell 'cause it's a bit darker than the last night's bout

I forgot about the drought of light bulbs in this house

So I head out down a route I think is heading south

But I'm not good with directions and I hide behind my mouth

I'm a pro at imperfections and I'm best friends with my doubt

And now that my mind's out and now I hear it clear and loud

I'm thinking: Wow, I probably should've stayed inside my house

I found my way

Right time wrong place

As I pled my case

You're the judge, oh, no

Set me free

You're the judge, oh, no

Set me free

I know my soul's freezing

Hell's hot for good reason

So please

I don't know if this song

Is a surrender or a revel

I don't know if this one

Is about me or the devil

I don't know if this song

Is a surrender or a revel

I don't know if this one

Is about me or the devil

Ooh, ooh

You're the judge, oh, no

Set me free, oh, no

You're the judge, oh, no

Set me free, oh, no

I know my soul's freezing

Hell's hot for good reason

So please

Yeah, yeah

Na, na, na, na, ooh, oh

Na, na, na, na, ooh, oh

Na, na, na, na, ooh, oh

Na, na, na, na, ooh, oh

You're the judge, oh, no

Set me free

You're the judge, oh, no

Set me free

You're the judge, oh, no

Set me free (Josh Dun)

You're the judge, oh, no

Set me free
