Lyrics Jesus Christ Superstar Cast – Judas’s Death

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

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

My mind is in darkness now — my God, I am sick! I’ve been used!
And you knew all the time!
God! I’ll never ever know why you chose me for your crime
Your foul, bloody crime!
You have murdered me! You have murdered me!

Choir:
Poor old Judas
So long, Judas
