Phil Ochs reminds us of Jesus' crucifixion for being the voice of the common man on this Good Friday and how he was betrayed by the Roman government on behest of the rich man.

Those who believe the government and the courts do the people's work should look no further than what the Roman troops did under a lawful order and upon conviction of Jesus Christ the son of God for treason. This song lays out the story of Christianity and government more generally so beautifully as we remember the death of Jesus Christ on this day.
