Damned For All Time/Blood Money Lyrics

Artist: Jesus Christ Superstar
Album: Jesus Christ Superstar Soundtrack

Judas
Now if I help you
It matters that you see
This 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 up
Before I came to you
I had no thought at all
Of 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
Because 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
Of 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 no thought at all
Of 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
With no crowd around him
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 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 more

Judas
On Thursday night
You'll find him where you want him
Far from the crowds
In the garden of Gethesmene

Chorus
Well done Judas Good old Judas

Comments/Interpretations
by Lola on 5/25/2008 4:24pm The " i dont want your blood money" and " I dont need your blood money" have to be switched
by gruberluva on 6/2/2008 3:37pm I agree with Lola.
by LoL on 6/16/2008 3:33am i agree that im very bored for looking at these lyrics LoL
by Keano on 6/20/2008 5:23pm I think it depends on the show, the one im in has these lyrics (slightly different in certain places) but the blood money part is right.
by Other on 7/9/2008 7:30am You know, the bible is actually ambiguous about whether Judas betrayed Jesus or not.
by Minima on 7/9/2008 7:35pm What I have to say on the matter IS that Judas was not forsaken by God, (according to the bible) Judas was used as a part of God's plan to "betray" Judas. Judas really had no choice on the matter. God manipulated the situation so that Judas' personality would make him do what he did. According to the bible he was rewarded for his suffering, which (as can be seen by the movie) was quite a lot.
