Judas:
Now if I help you, it matters that you see
These sorta 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 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 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 damned for all time

Annas, you're a friend, a worthy man and wise
Caiaphas, my friend, I know you sympathise
But 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 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

Annas:
With no crowd around him

Caiaphas:
Then we can't fail

Judas:
I don't want your blood money

Caiaphas:
Oh, that doesn't matter, our expenses are good

Judas:
I don't need 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 . . .

Annas:
A fee

Caiaphas:
A fee, nothing more

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
