Jesus Christ Superstar (20th Anniversary London Cast Recording (1992))
Jesus Must Die
Good Caiaphas
The council waits for you
The Pharisees and priests are here for you
Ah, gentlemen
You know why we are here
We've not much time
And quite a problem here
(Hosanna superstar
Hosanna superstar
Hosanna superstar
Hosanna superstar)
Listen to that howling of the blockheads in the street!
A trick or two with lepers
And the whole town's on its feet!
He is dangerous (Jesus Christ Superstar)
He is dangerous (Tell us that you're who they say you are)
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 (Jesus Christ Superstar)
He is dangerous
Look, Caiaphas
They're right outside our yard!
Quick, Caiaphas
Go call the Roman guard!
No, wait
We need a more permanent solution to our problem
What then to do about Jesus of Nazareth?
Miracle wonder man, hero of fools
No riots, no army
No fighting, no slogans
One thing I'll say for him: Jesus is cool
We dare not leave him to his own devices
His half-witted fans will get out of control
But how can we stop him?
His glamour increases
By leaps every minute
He's top of the poll
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
(Because, because, because of one man)
Our elimination because of one man
(Because, because. because of one
Cause of one, cause of one man)
What then to do about this Jesus-mania?
How do we deal with the carpenter king?
Where do we start with the man who is bigger
Than John was when John did his baptism thing?
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)
So like John before him, this Jesus must die
(Must die, must die, this Jesus must
Jesus must, Jesus must die)
The council waits for you
The Pharisees and priests are here for you
Ah, gentlemen
You know why we are here
We've not much time
And quite a problem here
(Hosanna superstar
Hosanna superstar
Hosanna superstar
