Damned For All Time / Blood Money
Jesus Christ Superstar
JUDAS
Now if I help you, it matters that you see
These sordid kinda things are coming 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 was 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, you're a friend, a worldly man and wise
Caiaphas, my friend, I know you sympathise
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 information. Get up of the floor
CAIAPHAS
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
CAIAPHAS
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
CAIAPHAS
Then we can't fail
JUDAS
I don't want your blood money!
CAIAPHAS
Oh, that doesn't matter, our expenses are good
JUDAS
I don't need your blood money!
ANNAS
But you might as well take it. We think that you should
CAIAPHAS
Think of the things you could 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 - it's a
ANNAS
A fee
CAIAPHAS
A fee nothing more
JUDAS
On Thursday night you'll find him where you want him
Far from the crowds, in the Garden of Gethsemane
CHOIR
Well done Judas. Good old Judas
