Andrew Lloyd Webber - This Jesus Must Die Lyrics
Priest)Good CaiaphasThe council waits for youThe Pharisees and priestsAre here for you(Caiaphas)Ah gentlemen, you know why we are hereWith not much time, and quite a problem here(Crowd outside)Hosanna! Superstar!(Annas)Listen to that howling mobOf blockheads in the streetA trick or two with lepersAnd the whole town's on its feet(All)He is dangerous! He is dangerous!(Crowd)Jesus Christ, SuperstarTell us that you are who they say you are(Priests)He is dangerous, dangerousThat man is in town right nowTo whip up some supportA rabble rousing missionThat I think we must abortHe is dangerous(Crowd)Jesus Christ, Superstar(Priests)He is dangerousLook CaiaphasThey are right outside our yardQuick CaiaphasGo 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 devicesHis half-witted fans will get out of control(Priest)But how can we stop him, his glamour increasesWith every minute, he's top of the pole(Caiaphas)I see bad things arisingThe crowd crown him KingWhich the Romans would banI see blood and destructionOur elimination because of one manBlood and destructionBecause 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 biggerThan John was when John did his baptism thing?(Caiaphas)Fools! You have no perceptionThe stakes we are gamblingAre frighteningly highWe must crush him completelySo like John before himThis Jesus must dieFor the sake of the nationThis Jesus must dieMust die, must dieThis Jesus must die
