JUDAS
My God! I saw him
He looked three-quarters dead!
And he was so bad I had to turn my head
You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame
And I know who everybody's going to blame
I don't believe he knows I acted for our good
I'd save him all this suffering if I could
Don't believe, our good
And I'd save him if I could
ANNAS
Cut the confessions, forget the excuses
I don't understand why you're filled with remorse
All that you've said has come true with a vengeance
The mob turned against him, you backed the right horse
CAIAPHAS
What you have done will be the saving of everyone
You'll be remembered forever for this
And not only that, you've been paid for your efforts
Pretty good wages for one little kiss
JUDAS
Christ, I know you can't hear me
But I only did what you wanted me too
Christ, I'd sell out the nation
For I have been saddled with the murder of you
I have been spattered with innocent blood
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud
I have been spattered with innocent blood
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud!
I don't know how to love him
I don't know why he moves me
He's a man. He's just a man
He is not a king. He is just the same
As anyone I know
He scares me so!
When he's cold and dead will he let me be?
Does he love me too? Does he care for me?
My mind is in darkness
God, God I'm sick, I've been used
And you knew all the time
God, God I'll never ever know why you chose me for your crime
You're so bloody, Christ
CHOIR
Poor old Judas. So long Judas
JUDAS
You have murdered me
