Songtexte Damned For All Time / Blood Money - Remastered 2021 - Andrew Lloyd Webber , Murray Head

Now if I help you, it matters that you see
These sort of kind of things come in 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 on 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

And as you're a friend, a worthy man and wise
Caiaphas, my friend, I know you sympathize
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
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 need your blood money
Oh, that doesn't matter
Our expenses are good
I don't want 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 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
