The Pit Lyrics

The Pit Lyrics

[Reuben]
Let's throw him in the pit
In our family tree
He just doesn't fit

[Simeon]
Let's kill him and make up a lie
Here he comes now
The dreamer must die
When father asks us all why
We'll say little do we know

[Reuben]
It's the truth - he's a very good liar
And his mother's desire
Was to lift him up higher

I recognize his condition is dire
But this will backfire
So let him live, this liar
And remember, he's still our brother!

[Judah]
Let's throw him in the pit
Let's sell him for gain
There'll be profits to split

Let's sell him as a slave
And they'll take him down
Down to Egypt
When father asks
No one will admit
We'll say little do we know
