Blood Money Lyrics

Judas:
I don't need your blood money!

Caiaphas:
Oh that doesn't matter our expenses are good

Judas:
I don't want your blood money!

Annas:
But you might as well take it - we think that you should

Caiaphas:
Think of the things you can do with that money
Choose any charity - give to the poor
We've noted your motives - we've noted your feelings
This isn't blood money - it's a fee nothing
Fee nothing, fee nothing more

Judas:
On Thursday night you'll find him where you want him
Far from the crowds in the Garden of Gethsemane

Choir:
Well done Judas
Good old Judas

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i love this song, well the full version anyway. the musical and this song make Judas' pain far beyond that of Jesus. This and Gethsemane (i only want to say) are two of my favourite songs from musicals.

I think at heart, Jesus Christ superstar is more about the story from Judas' view than a retelling of the crucifixion. I think that by far the best version was a movie done of this rock opera that was made in 1973, its got ecxellent symbollism as well as brilliant preformers. The man playing Judas for instance, Simon Lewis, was in my opinion the best one, and no one has been able to match him yet.

Sorry, It was Carl Anderson. Simon Lewis was the fat idiot who kept missing notes. Though i probably just dont like him because he didnt measure up to anderson when i saw JCS preformed a few years ago. Carl Anderson was the best judas
