Jesus Christ Superstar movie - JUDAS' DEATH lyrics

<br>

JUDAS <br>

<br>

My God! I saw him. <br>

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 going to 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... <br>

And I'd save him if I could...<br>

<br>

ANNAS <br>

<br>

Cut the confessions, forget the excuses. <br>

I don't understand why you're filled 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>

<br>

What you have done will be the saving of everyone. <br>

You'll be remembered forever for this. <br>

And not only that, you've been paid for your efforts. <br>

Pretty good wages for one little kiss.<br>

<br>

JUDAS <br>

<br>

Christ, I know you can't hear me, <br>

But I only did what you wanted me too. <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>

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 is not a king. He is 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. <br>

God, God I'm sick. I've been used, <br>

And you knew all the time. <br>

God, God I'll never ever know why you chose me for your crime. <br>

You're so bloody, Christ. <br>

<br>

CHOIR <br>

<br>

Poor old Judas. So long Judas.<br>

<br>

JUDAS <br>

<br>

You have murdered me.<br>
