(Tuesday)

Carl:
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 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 further more 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

Annas, you're a friend - a worldly man and wise
Caiaphas, my friend, I know you symphathise
But why are we the prophets? Why are we the ones?
We 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
[Blood Money]

Kurt:
Cut the protesting forget the excuses
We want information; get up off the floor

Bob:
We have the papers we need to arrest him
You know his movements, we know the law

Kurt:
Your help in this matter won't go unrewarded

Bob:
We'll pay you in silver - cash on the nail
We just need to know where the soldiers can find him

Kurt:
With no crowd 'round him

Bob:
Then we can't fail

Carl:
I don't need your blood money!
Bob:
Oh, that doesn't matter - our expenses are good

Carl:
I don't want your blood money!

Kurt:
But you might as well take it; we think that you should

Bob:
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- (Kurt: a fee.)
A fee, nothing more

Carl:
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
