(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 the suffering

If I could

Don't believe

Our good

Save him

If I could



(Priest)



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 vengence

The mob has turned against him

You've backed the right horse



(Caiaphas)



What you have done

Will be the saving of Israel

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 to

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 should be dragged

Through the slime and the mud

I have been spattered

With innocent blood

I should 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's not a king

He's 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?

Ohhhhh...



My mind is darkness now

My god I am sick

I've been used

And you knew

All the time-acapo
