Jesus Christ Superstar - Blood Money 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.

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 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 ...

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.
