It's a Cold World, Mary Magdelene Mixea Lyrics

Mary Magdalene, Mary Magdalene

That was her name, that was her name

Mary Magdalene, Mary Magdalene

That was her name, that was her name

Prostitution

That was her game, that was her game

When I first met Mary

She was lying in the dust, lying in the dust

Surrounded by men, surrounded by men

They were going to stone her, they were going to kill her

With big old rocks and leave her dying in the desert sun

Mary Magdalene, that was her name, that was her name

Lying in the dust, lying in the dust

That was her game, that was her game

But I jumped in front of everybody and I said

Don't throw those stones, don't throw those stones

Mary Magdalene, Mary Magdalene

Yeah, she's lived a life of sin

Yeah, she's lived a life of sin

It wasn't a pretty life

Nobody respects what she's done

But she can't change, she can't change

And I hope you'll give her a chance

If you just give her a chance

Everything will be okay, everything will be okay

Everything will be alright

Everything gonna turn out just alright

And here's what I told all those men with the stones raised in their hands

Look around you

At your fellow men

Look at yourself, my brother

And tell me you ain't sinned

And believe it or not

Every one of us is a prostitute for something

And believe it or not

Every one of us is a prostitute for something

Some of us want wealth

Some of us want poverty

Some of us want peace on earth

Some of us want war on everybody

Some of us go to work

Some of us stay home

Some of us travel

Some of us never roam

Everything that we are

Everything that we'll ever be

Will be a relationship based on money with everyone else

We'll all be

We'll all be

We'll all be

I don't wanna say it, but I gotta say it

We'll all be a prostitute for something

We'll all be a prostitute for something

Mary Magdalene, Mary Magdalene

That was her name

Mary Magdalene, Mary Magdalene

That was her name

And if you can't hear me now

I just wanna tell you

That word got to me

That you're doing great

Went back to school

Finished your degree

And now you're all out there in some city

I don't know which, I haven't heard

But you're in that white-collar world

Doing your thing

You got back up on your feet

Mary Magdalene, Mary Magdalene

I hope you know that you're my hero

You're my hero

You're my hero
