My God! I saw him - he looked three-quarters dead! <br />And he was so bad I had to turn my head <br />You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame <br />And I know who everybody's gonna blame <br />I don't believe he knows I acted for our good <br />I'd save him all this suffering if I could <br />Don't believe ... our good ... save him ... if I could <br /><br />Priest 3: <br />Cut the confessions forget the excuses <br />I don't understand why you feel with remorse <br />All that you've said has come true with a vengeance <br />The mob turned against him - you backed the right horse <br /><br />Caiaphas: <br />What you have done will be the saving of Israel <br />You'll be remembered forever for this <br />And not only that you've been paid for your efforts <br />Prettly good wages for one little kiss <br /><br />Judas: <br />Christ! I know you can't hear me <br />But I only did what you wanted me to <br />Christ! I'd sell out the nation <br />For I have been saddled with the murder of you <br />I have been spattered with innocent blood <br />I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud <br />I have been spattered with innocent blood <br />I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud! <br /><br />I don't know how to love him <br />I don't know why he moves me <br />He's a man - he's just a man <br />He's not a king - he's just the same <br />As anyone I know <br />He scares me so <br />When he's cold and dead will he let me be? <br />Does he love me too? Does he care for me? <br />My mind is in darkness now - my God I am sick I've been used <br />And you knew all the time <br />God! I'll never ever know why you chose me for your crime <br />Your foul bloody crime <br />You have murdered me! You have murdered me! <br /><br />Choir: <br />Poor old Judas <br />So long Judas
