Andrew Lloyd Webber – This Jesus Must Die lyrics

Album: Jesus Christ Superstar

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
CROWD (outside)
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
ALL
He is dangerous
CROWD (outside)
Jesus Christ Superstar - tell us that you're who they say you are
ALL
He is dangerous
PRIEST 1
That man is in town right now to whip up some support
PRIEST 2
A rabble rousing mission that I think we must abort
ALL
He is dangerous !
CROWD ( outside )
Jesus Christ Superstar....
ALL
He is dangerous!
PRIEST 2
Look Caiaphas - they 're right outside our yard
PRIEST 1
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 wonderman - hero of fools?
PRIEST 2
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
