Now, if I help you, it matters that you see
These sordid kind of things
Arecominghard to me
It'staken me some time to
Workout what to do
I weighed the whole thing out
Before I came to you
I have not thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord
Just don't say I'm damned for all time
I came because I had to, I'm the one who saw
Jesus can't control it like he did before
And furthermore I know that
Jesus thinks so too
Jesus wouldn't mind that I was here with you
I have not thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord
Just don't say I'm damned for all time
Annas, you're a friend
A worldly man and wise
Caiaphas, my friend, I know you sympathise
Why are we the prophets? Why are we the ones
Who see the sad solution
Know what must be done?
I have not thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord
Just don't say I'm damned for all time
