Blood Money - Lyrics by Jesus Christ Superstar


Lyrics
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.JUDASI don't need your blood money!CAIAPHAS
Oh, that doesn't matter, our expenses are good.JUDASI 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,
Fee nothing, fee nothing more.
Betrayal
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.
