Priest 1: Good Caiaphas, the council waits for you The Pharisees and priests are here for you Caiaphas: Ah gentlemen, you know why we are here We've not much time, and quite a problem here Mob: Hosanna, Superstar Hosanna, Superstar Hosanna, Superstar 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 Priests: He is dangerous Mob: Jesus Christ Superstar Priests: He is dangerous Mob: Tell us that you're who they say you are Priest 2: That man is in town right now to whip up some support Priest 3: A rabble rousing mission that I think we must abort Priests: He is dangerous Mob: Jesus Christ Superstar Priests: He is dangerous Priest 2: Look Caiaphas, they're right outside our yard Priest 3: Quick Caiaphas, go call the Roman guard Caiaphas: No, wait! We need a more permanent solution to our problem Annas: What then to do about Jesus of Nazareth? Miracle wonder man, hero of fools Priest 3: No riots, no army, no fighting, no slogans Caiaphas: One thing I'll 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 Four Priests: But how can we stop him? His glamor increases By leaps every minute, He's top of the poll 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 Priests: Because, because, because of one man Caiaphas: Our elimination because of one man Priests: Because, because, because of one, 'cause of one, 'cause of one man Priest 3: What then to do about this Jesus mania? Annas: Now how do we deal with a Carpenter King? Two Priests: Where do we start with the 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 Priests: Must die, must die, this Jesus must die Caiaphas: So like John before Him, this Jesus must die Priests; Must die, must die, this Jesus must, Jesus must, Jesus must die |
