Priest
|
Good Caiaphas
|
The council waits for you
|
The Pharisees and priests
|
Are here for you
|
|
Caiaphas
|
Ah gentlemen, you know why we are here
|
With not much time, and quite a problem here
|
|
Crowd Outside
|
Hosanna! Superstar!
|
|
Annas
|
Listen to that howling mob
|
Of blockheads in the street
|
A trick or two with lepers
|
And the whole town's on its feet
|
|
All
|
He is dangerous! He is dangerous!
|
|
Crowd
|
Jesus Christ, Superstar
|
Tell us that you are who they say you are
|
|
Priests
|
He is dangerous, dangerous
|
That man is in town right now
|
To whip up some support
|
A rabble rousing mission
|
That I think we must abort
|
He is dangerous
|
|
Crowd
|
Jesus Christ, Superstar
|
|
Priests
|
He is dangerous
|
Look Caiaphas
|
They are right outside our yard
|
Quick Caiaphas
|
Go call the Roman guard
|
|
Caiaphas
|
No wait, we need a more permanent solution to our problem.
|
|
Annas
|
What shall we do about Jesus of Nazareth?
|
Miracle worker, pilgrim or fool
|
|
Priest
|
No riots, no Romans, no fighting, no slogans
|
|
Caiaphas
|
One thing to say for him, Jesus is cool
|
|
Annas
|
We dare not leave him to his own devices
|
His half-witted fans will get out of control
|
|
Priest
|
But how can we stop him, his glamour increases
|
With every minute, he's top of the pole
|
|
Caiaphas
|
I see bad things arising
|
The crowd crown him King
|
Which the Romans would ban
|
I see blood and destruction
|
Our elimination because of one man
|
Blood and destruction
|
Because of one man
|
|
Voices
|
What can we do about this Jesusmania?
|
How can we deal with the carpenter king?
|
Where do we start with a man who is bigger
|
Than John was when John did his baptism thing?
|
|
Caiaphas
|
Fools! You have no perception
|
The stakes we are gambling
|
Are frighteningly high
|
We must crush him completely
|
So like John before him
|
This Jesus must die
|
For the sake of the nation
|
This Jesus must die
|
Must die, must die
|
This Jesus must die
|
|
