[The first minute and a half on this track is an instrumental intro.]

[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.


[Instrumental break.]

Annas, you're a friend, a worldly man and wise.

Caiaphas, my friend, I know you sympathize.
Why are we the prophets? Why am I the ones,
Who sees the sad solution, knows 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 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 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.


[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.
Well done Judas. Good old Judas.
