MiscellaneousAlas For You lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
Alas, alas for you
Lawyers and pharisees, hypocrites that you be
Searching for souls and fools to forsake them
You travel the land you scour the sea
After you've got your converts you make them
Twice as fit for hell!
As you are yourselves!
Alas, alas for you
Lawyers and pharisees, hypocrites that you are
Sure that the kingdom of Heaven awaits you
You will not venture half so far
Other men that might enter the gates you
Keep from passing through!
Drag them down with you!
You snakes, you viper's brood
You cannot escape being devil's food!
I send you prophets
I send you preachers
Sages and rages and ages of teachers
Nothing can bar your mood
Alas, alas for you
Lawyers and pharisees, hypocrites to a man
Sons of the dogs who murdered the prophets
Finishing off what your fathers began
You don't have time to scorn and to scoff
It's getting very late! Vengeance doesn't wait!
You snakes, you viper's brood
You cannot escape being devil's food!
I send you prophets, I send you preachers
Sages and rages and ages of teachers
Nothing can bar your mood
Blind guides, blind fools
The blood you spilled
On you will fall!
This nation, this generation
Will bear the guilt of it all
Alas, alas, alas for you!
Blind fools!
