Jesus Christ Superstar (рок опера) - Damned For all Time (Blood Money) текст песни

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 had no thought 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; I'm the one who saw.
Jesus can't control me like he did before.
And furthermore I know that Jesus thinks so too.
Jesus wouldn't mind that I was here with you.
I had 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 sympathize.
Why are we the prophets? Why are we the ones
Who see the sad solution - know what must be done?
I had 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 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 the 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 more.

JUDAS
On Thursday night you'll find him where you want him:
Far from the crowd, in the Garden of Gethsemane.

JESUS
Well done Judas.
Good old Judas.
