This Jesus Must Die.

(Jerusalem, Sunday)

Priest 1:
Good Caiaphas the counsil 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 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

Mob outside:
Jesus Christ Superstar -
Tell us that you're who will say you are

All:
He is dangerous

Priest 2:
The man is in town right now to whip us some support

Priest 3:
A rabble rousing mission that I think we must abort

All:
He is dangerous

Mob outside:
Jesus Christ Superstar!

All:
He is dangerous

Priest 2:
Look Caiaphas - they're 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 wonderman - 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

Priest 3:
But how can we stop him? His glamour 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

All:
Because, because, because of one man

Caiaphas:
Our elimination because of one man

All:
Because, because, because of one
'Cause of one, 'cause of one man

Priest 3:
What then to do about this Jesusmania?

Annas:
How do we deal with the carpenter king?

Priest 3:
Where do we start with a 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 frightenly 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

All:
Must die, must die, this Jesus must die

Caiaphas:
So like John before him this Jesus must die

All:
Must die, must die, this Jesus must,
Jesus must, Jesus must die.
