Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice: This 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
With not much time
And quite a problem here
Hosanna! Superstar!
Hosanna! Superstar!
Hosanna! Superstar!
Hosanna! Superstar!
Listen to that howling mob
Of 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 are 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 that they do about Jesus of Nazareth?
Miracle, wonder man, hero or fool
No riots, no army, no fighting, no slogans
One thing I 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 glamor increases
By leaps every minute, He's top of the pole
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 do they do about this Jesus mania?
How do 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?
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
