| 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 it’s 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 |
