Jesus Christ Superstar (2000) – Damned For All Time - Blood Money 0

JUDAS
Now if I help you it matters that you see
These sordid kind of things are coming hard to me
It's taken me some time to work out what to do
I weighed the whole thing up 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 wordly 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 off 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 need your blood money!

CAIAPHAS
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

CAIAPHAS
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 - it's a fee nothing
fee nothing 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
