Now, if I help you, it matters that you see
These sordid kinds 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 them 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 on 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 symphathize
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 on my own accord
Just don't say I'm damned for all time
Cut the protesting, forget the excuses
We want information; get up off the floor
We have the papers we need to arrest him
You know his movements, we know the law
Your help in this matter won't go unrewarded
We'll pay you in silver - cash on the nail
We just need to know where the soldiers can find him
With no crowd around him
Then we can't fail
I don't want your blood money!
Oh, that doesn't matter - our expenses are good
I don't need your blood money!
But you might as well take it; we think that you should
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 fee, nothing-
Fee, nothing- fee, nothing more
On Thursday night, you'll find him where you want him
Far from the crowds, in the Garden of Gethsemane
Well done, Judas
Good, old Judas
Well done, Judas
Good, old Judas
