from the songs album Jesus Christ Superstar
[Judas]
Now if I help you it matters that you see
These sordid kind of things are
Comming hard to me.
It's taken me some time to work out
what to do.
I weighed the whole thing out before I came
to you.
I have no thought at all about my own reward.
I really didn't come here of my own accord.
Just don't say I'm
Damned for all time.
I came because I had to. I'm the one who saw.
Jesus can't control it like he did before.
And furthermore I know that Jesus thinks so, too.
Jesus wouldn't mind that I am here with you.
I have no thought at all about my own reward.
I really didn't come here of my own accord.
Just don't say I'm
Damned for all time.
Annas your a friend, a worldly man, and wise.
Caiaphus, my friend, I know you sympathize.
But why are we the prophets?
Why are we the ones who see the sad solution,
Know what must be done?
I have no thought at all about my own reward.
I really didn't come here of my own accord.
Just don't say I'm
Damned
For all time.
[Annas]
Cut the protesting, forget the excuses.
We want informatin. Get up off the floor.
[Caiaphus]
We have the papers we need to arrest him.
You know his movements. We know the law.
[Annas]
Your help in this matter won't go unrewarded.
[Caiaphus]
We'll pay you in silver, cash on the nail.
We just need to know where the soldiers
can find him.
[Annas]
With no crowd around him.
[Caiaphus]
Then we can't fail.
[Judas]
I don't need your blood money.
[Caiaphus]
Oh, that doesn't matter. Our expenses are good.
[Judas]
I don't want your blood money.
[Annas]
But you might as well take it.
We think that you should.
[Caiaphus]
Think of the things you can do with that money.
Choose any charity, give to the poor.
We've noted your motives.
We've noted your feelings.
This isn't blood money, its a fee nothing...
fee nothing...
fee nothing more.
[Judas]
On Thursday night
You'll find him where you want him.
Far from the crowd, in the Garden of Gethsemane.
[Chorus]
Well done Judas.
Good old Judas.
