Song lyrics

[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 gonna 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...
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 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 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 slime and 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's just the same
As anyone I know
He scares me so
When he's cold and dead
Will he let me be?
Will he love - does he love me too?
Does he care for me?

My mind is - it's in darkness now -
My God I'm sick, i've been used
And you knew all the time
God! I'll never ever know
Why you chose me for your crime
For your foul bloody crime
You have murdered me!
You have murdered me!
Murdered me! Murdered me!...

[Choir:]
Poor old [Judas:]
So long Judas...
