Damned For All Time/Blood Money lyrics
[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 out before I came to you
I have not 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 not 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 not 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 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 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...
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...
[ANGELS]
Well done, Judas
Good old Judas.
