Damned For All Time / Blood Money

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 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

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 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 sympathize

But 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

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 'round 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 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

A fee

A 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
