Musicals - Jesus Christ Superstar: Then We Are Decided Lyrics
CAIAPHAS:We've been sitting on the fence for far too long.ANNAS:Why let him upset us?Caiaphas, let him be.All those imbeciles will seeHe really doesn't matter.CAIAPHAS:Jesus is important.We've let him go his way beforeAnd while he starts a major war,We theorize and chatter.ANNAS:He's just anotherScripture-thumping hackFrom Galilee!CAIAPHAS:The difference is they call him King!The difference frightens me!What about the Romans?When they see King Jesus crownedDo you think they'll stand around,Cheering and applauding?What about our people?If they see we've lost our nerveDon't you think that they deserveSomething more rewarding?ANNAS:They've got what they want.They think so, anyway.If he's what they want;Why take their toy away?He's a craze!CAIAPHAS:Put yourself in my place!I can hardly step aside!I cannot let my hands be tied!I am law and order!What about our priesthood?Don't you see that we could fall?If we are to last at all,We cannot be divided!ANNAS:Then say so to the council.But don't rely on subtlety.Frighten them, or they won't see...CAIAPHAS:Then we are decided?ANNAS:Then we are decided
