My mind is clearer now, at last all too well
I can see where we all soon will be If you strip away the myth from the man you will see where we all soon will be Jesus! You've started believe the things they say of you You really do believe this talk of god is true And all the good you've done will soon get swept away You've begun to matter more than the things you sat Listen Jesus I don't like what I see All I ask is that you listen to me And remember, I've been your right man all along You have set them all on fire They think they've found the new Messiah And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong I remember when this whole thing began No talk of god, then we called you a man And believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died But every word you sat today Get twisted round some other way And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied Nazareth your famous son should have stayed a great unknown Like his father carving wood, he'd have made good Tables, chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best He'd have caused nobody harm, no one alarm Listen Jesus, do you care for your race? Don't you see we must keep in our place We are occupied, have you forgotten how put down we are? I am frightened by the crowd For we are getting much too loud And they'll crush us if we go too far Listen Jesus to the warning I give Please remember that I want us to live But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour And your followers are blind Too much heaven on their mind It was beautiful but now it's sour Yes, it all gone sour |

It seems to me a strange thing, mystifying
That a man like you can waste his time On such a concubine Yes, I can understand that she amuses But to let her kiss you, stroke your hair That's hardly in your line It's not that I object to her profession But she doesn't fit in well With what you teach and say It doesn't help us if you are inconsistent They only need a small Excuse to put us all away Who are you to criticise her? Who are you to despise her? Leave her, leave her, let her be now Leave her, leave her, she's with me now If your slate is clean then you can throw stones If your slate is not then leave her alone I'm amazed that men like you Can be so shallow thick and slow There is not a man among you Who knows or cares if I came or go Save Judas No you're wrong, you're very wrong How can you say that? Not one, not one of you |

We've been sitting on the fence for far too long
Why let him upset us? Caiaphas, let him be All those imbeciles will see He really doesn't matter Jesus is important We've let him go his way before And while he starts a major war We theorize and chatter He's just another scripture Thumping hack from Galilee The difference is they call him King The difference frightens me What about the Romans? When they see King Jesus crowned Do you think they'll stand around Cheering and applauding? What about our people? If they see we've lost our nerve Don't you think that they deserve Something more rewarding? 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 Put yourself in my place I can hardly step aside Can not 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 can not be divided Then say so to the council But don't rely on subtlety Frighten them or they won't see Then we are decided Then we are decided |

- Pilate's Dream -
# PILATE ; I dreamed I met a Galilean, A most amazing man. He had that look you rarely find, The haunted, hunted kind. I asked him to say what had happened, How it all began I asked again - he never said a word. As if he hadn't heard. And next, the room was full of wild and angry men. They seemed to hate this man. They fell on him him, and then, They disappeared again. Then I saw thousands of millions Crying for this man And then I heard then mentioning my name, And leaving me the blame. |

I don't know how to love him
Waht to do how to move him I've been changed yes really changed In these past few days when I've seen myself I seem like someone else I don't know how to take this I don't see why he moves me He's a man he's just a man And I've had so many men before In very many ways He's just one more Should I bring him down should I scream and shout Should I speak of love let my feelings out I never thought I'd come to this- what's it all about Don't you think it's rather funny I should be in this position I'm the one who's always been So calm so cool, no lover's fool Running every show He scares me so I never thought I'd come to this- what's it all about Yet if he said he loved me I'd be lost I'd be frightened I couldn't cope just couldn't cope I'd turn my head I'd back away I wouldn't want to know He scares me so I want him so I love him so |

- Damned for All Time -
# JUDAS ; Now if I help you, it matters that you see These sordid kinda things are coming hard to me. It's taken me some time to work out what to do. I weighed the whole thing out before I came to you. I had no thought of my own reward. I really didn't come here of my own accord. Just don't say I'm damned for all time. I came because I had to; I'm the one who saw. Jesus can't control me like he did before. And furthermore I know that Jesus thinks so too. Jesus wouldn't mind that I was here with you. I had no thought at all about my own reward. I really didn't come here of my own accord. Just don't say I'm damned for all time. Annas, you're a friend, a worldly man and wise. Caiaphas, my friend, I know you sympathize. Why are we the prophets? Why are we the ones Who see the sad solution - know what must be done? I had no thought at all about my own reward. I really didn't come here of my own accord. Just don't say I'm damned for all time. # ANNAS ; Cut the protesting, forget the excuses. We want information. Get up off the floor. # CAIAPHAS ; We have the papers we need to arrest him. You know his movements. We know the law. # ANNAS ; Your help in the matter won't go unrewarded. # CAIAPHAS ; We'll pay you in silver, cash on the nail. We just need to know where the soldiers can find him... # ANNAS ; With no crowd around him.... # CAIAPHAS ; Then we can't fail. - Blood Money - # JUDAS ; I don't need your blood money! # CAIAPHAS ; Oh, that doesn't matter, our expenses are good. # JUDAS ; I don't want your blood money! # ANNAS ; But you might as well take it. We think that you should. # CAIAPHAS ; Think of the things you could do with that money, Choose any charity - give to the poor. We've noted your motives. We've noted your feelings. This isn't blood money - it's a ... # ANNAS ; a fee...... # CAIAPHAS ; A fee nothing more. # JUDAS ; On Thursday night you'll find him where you want him: Far from the crowd, in the Garden of Gethsemane. # TEMPTRESSES ; Well done Judas. Good old Judas. |

(Apostles)
Look at all my trials and tribulations Sinking in a gentle pool of wine Don't disturb me now I can see the answers Till this evening is this morning life is fine Always hoped that I'd be an apostle Knew that I would make it if I tried Then when we retire we can write the gospels So they'll still talk about us when we've died (Jesus) The end . . . Is just a little harder when brought about by friends For all you care this wine could be my blood For all you care this bread could be my body The end! This is my blood you drink This is my body you eat If you would remember me when you eat and drink . . . I must be mad thinking I'll be remembered - yes I must be out of my head! Look at your blank faces! My name will mean nothing Ten minutes after I'm dead! One of you denies me One of you betrays me (Apostles) Not I! Who would? Impossible! (Jesus) Peter will deny me in just a few hours Three times will deny me - and that's not all I see One of you here dining, one of my twelve chosen Will leave to betray me - (Judas) Cut out the dramatics! You know very well who - (Jesus) Why don't you go do it? (Judas) You want me to do it! (Jesus) Hurry they are waiting (Judas) If you knew why I do it . . . (Jesus) I don't care why you do it! (Judas) To think I admired you For now I despise you (Jesus) You liar - you Judas (Judas) You wanted me to do it! What if I just stayed here And ruined your ambition? Christ you deserve it! (Jesus) Hurry you fool, hurry and go, Save me your speeches I don't want to know - Go! Go! (Apostles) Look at all my trials and tribulations Sinking in a gentle pool of wine What's that in the bread it's gone to my head Till this morning is this evening life is fine Always hoped that I'd be an apostle Knew that I would make it if I tried Then when we retire we can write the gospels So they'll all talk about us when we've died (Judas) You sad pathetic man - see where you've brought us to Our ideals die around us and all because of you But the saddest cut of all - Someone has to turn you in Like a common criminal, like a wounded animal A jaded mandarin A jaded mandarin Like a jaded, faded, faded, jaded, jaded mandarin (Jesus) Get out! They're waiting! Get out! They're waiting! Oh! They're waiting for you! (Judas) Everytime I look at you I don't understand Why you let the things you did get so out of hand You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned - Ah --- ah (Apostles) Look at all my trials and tribulations Sinking in a gentle pool of wine What's that in the bread it's gone to my head Till this evening is this morning life is fine Always hoped that I'd be an apostle Knew that I would make it if I tried (If I tried) Then when we retire we can write the gospels So they'll still talk about us when we've died (Jesus) Will no-one stay awake with me? Peter? John? James? Will none of you wait with me? Peter? John? James |

I only want to say,
If there is a way, Take this cup away from me. For I don't want to taste its poison. Feel it burn me, I have changed. I'm not as sure, as when we started. Then, I was inspired. Now, I'm sad and tired. Listen, surely I've exceeded expectations, Tried for three years, seems like thirty. Could you ask as much from any other man? But if I die, See the saga through and do the things you ask of me, Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree. I'd want to know, I'd want to know, My God, I'd want to know, I'd want to know, My God, I'd want to see, I'd want to see, My God, I'd want to see, I'd want to see, My God, Why I should die. Would I be more noticed than I ever was before? Would the things I've said and done matter any more? I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord, I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord, I'd have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord, I'd have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord, If I die what will be my reward? If I die what will be my reward? Have to know, have to know, my Lord, Have to know, have to know, my Lord, Why should I die? Why why should I die? Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain? Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain. Show me there's a reason for you wanting me to die. You're far to keen and where and how, but not so hot on why. Alright, I'll die! Just watch me die! See, see, see how I die! Oh, see, see how I die! Then I was inspired. Now, I'm sad and tired. After all, I've tried for three years, seems like ninety. Why then am I scared to finish what I started, What you started - I didn't start it. God, thy will is hard, But you hold every card. I will drink your cup of poison. Nail me to your cross and break me. Bleed me, beat me. Kill me. Take me, now! Before I change my mind. |

(Try It and See) # HEROD ; Jesus, I am overjoyed to meet you face to face. You've been getting quite a name all around the place. Healing cripples. Raising from the dead. And now I understand you're God. At least, that's what you've said. So, you are the Christ. You're the great Jesus Christ. Prove to me that you're divine; change my water into wine. That's all you need do, and I'll know it's all true. Come on, King of the Jews. Jesus, you just won't believe the hit you've made around here. You are all we talk about, the wonder of the year. Oh what a pity if it's all a lie. Still, I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try. So, you are the Christ. You're the great Jesus Christ. Prove to me that you're no fool; walk across my swimming pool. If you do that for me, then I'll let you go free. Come on, King of the Jews. I only ask things I'd ask any superstar. What is it that you have got that puts you where you are? Oh~I am waiting, yes, I'm a captive fan. I'm dying to be shown that you are not just any man. So, if you are the Christ, yes, the great Jesus Christ Feed my household with this bread. You can do it on your head. Or has something gone wrong? Why do you take so long? Come on, King of the Jews! Hey! Aren't you scared of me Christ? Mr. Wonderful Christ? You're a joke. You're not the Lord. You're nothing but a fraud. Take him away. He's got nothing to say! Get out you King of the Jews! Get out a here! Get out of my life! |

# JUDAS ; My God! I saw him. He looked three-quarters dead! And he was so bad I had to turn my head. You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame, And I know who everybody's going to blame. I don't believe he knows I acted for our good. I'd save him all this suffering if I could. Don't believe for our good And I'd save him, if I could! # ANNAS ; Cut the confessions. Forget the excuses. I don't understand why you're filled with remorse. All that you've said has come true with a vengeance. The mob turned against him. You backed the right horse. # CAIAPHAS ; What you have done will be the saving of Israel. You'll be remembered forever for this. And not only that, you've been paid for your efforts. Pretty good wages for one little kiss. # JUDAS ; Christ, I know you can't hear me, But I only did what you wanted me to. Christ, I'd sell out the nation, For I have been saddled with the murder of you. I have been splattered with innocent blood. I shall be dragged through the slime and mud. I have been splattered with innocent blood. I shall be dragged through the slime and the slime and the slime and the mud! I don't know how to love him. I don't know why he moves me. He's a man. He's just a man. He is not a King. He is just the same As any one I know. He scares me so! When he's cold and dead will he let me be? Does he love me too? Does he care for me? Ah~! My mind is in darkness now. My God, I am sick. I've been used. And you knew, all the time. God, I will never know why you chose me... for your crime...bloody crime...your foul bloody crime. You have murdered me! Murdered me! Murdered me! Murdered me! Murdered me! Murdered ... # TEMPTRESSES ; Poor old Judas. So long Judas. |

- Trial Before Pilate -
(Including the 39 lashes) # PILATE ; And so the King is once again my guest. And why is this? Was Herod unimpressed? # CAIAPHAS ; We turned to Rome to sentence Nazareth. We have no law to put a man to death. We need him crucified. It's all you have to do. We need him crucified. It's all you have to do. # PILATE ; Talk to me Jesus Christ. You have been brought here Manacled and beaten by your own people. Do you have the faintest idea why you deserve it? Listen King of the Jews, Where is your kingdom? Look at me. Am I a Jew? # JESUS ; I have no kingdom in the world I'm through. # MOB ; Talk to me Jesus Christ # JESUS ; There may be a kingdom for me somewhere. If I only knew. # PILATE ; Then you are a King? # JESUS ; It's you that say I am. I look for truth and find that I get damned. # PILATE ; But what is truth? Is truth unchanging law? We both have truths. Are mine the same as yours? # MOB ; Crucify him! Crucify him! # PILATE ; What do you mean? You'd crucify your King? # MOB ; We have no King but Ceaser! # PILATE ; He's done no wrong. No, not the slightest thing. # MOB ; We have no King but Ceaser! Crucify him! # PILATE ; I see no reason. I find no evil. This man is harmless, so why does he upset you? He's just misguided, thinks he's important. But to keep you vultures happy I shall flog him! # MOB ; Crucify him! Crucify him! [39 lashes] # PILATE; Where are you from Jesus? What do you want Jesus? Tell me. You've got to be careful. You could be dead soon, Could well be. Why do you not speak when I have your life in my hands? How can you stay quiet? I don't believe you understand. # JESUS ; You have nothing in your hands. Any power you have comes to you from far beyond. Everything is fixed. and you can't change it. # PILATE ; You're a fool Jesus Christ! How can I help you? # MOB ; Pilate, Crucify him! Remember Ceaser. You have a duty. To keep the peace, so crucify him! Remember Ceaser! You'll be demoted! You'll be deported! Crucify him! # PILATE ; Don't let me stop your great self-destruction. Die if you want to you misguided martyr! I wash my hands of you demolition. Die if you want to you innocent puppet! |

Every time I look at you I don't understand
Why you let the things you did get so out of hand. You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned. Why'd you choose such a backward time in such a strange land? If you'd come today you could have reached a whole nation. Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication. Don't you get me wrong. I only want to know. Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Who are you? What have you sacrificed? Jesus Christ Superstar, Do you think you're what they say you are? Tell me what you think about your friends at the top. Who'd you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop? Buddha, was he where it's at? Is he where you are? Could Mohammed move a mountain, or was that just PR? Did you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake, or Did you know your messy death would be a record breaker? Don't you get me wrong. I only want to know. Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Who are you? What have you sacrificed? Jesus Christ Superstar, Do you think you're what they say you are? (Repeat many times) |
