Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice Damned for All Time / Blood Money lyrics

Now if I help you, it matters that you see
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 up 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 dammed 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 dammed 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 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 dammed 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
