(SINGING) My mind is clearer now

At last, all too well

I can see

Where we aII soon wiII be

lf you strip away

the myth from the man

You wiII see

Where we aII soon wiII be

Jesus!

You've started to beIieve the things they say of you

You reaIIy do beIieve this taIk 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 say

Listen, Jesus, l don't like what l see

All l ask is that you listen to me

And remember

l've been your right-hand man all along

You have set them aII on fire

they think they've found the new messiah

And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong

l remember when this whole thing began

No taIk of God then We called you a man

And beIieve me

My admiration for you hasn't died

But every word you say today

Gets 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

table, chair and oaken chest WouId have suited Jesus best

He'd have caused nobody harm No one aIarm

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 far down we are?

And our conquerors object

to another noisy sect

And they will crush us if we go too far

lf we go too far

(INDIStINCt)

Listen, Jesus, to the warning l give

PIease remember that I want us to Iive

But it's sad to see our chances

Weakening with every hour

All of your followers are blind

too much heaven on their minds

lt was beautiful, but now it's sour

Yes, it's all gone sour

Listen, Jesus, to the warning l give

PIease remember that I want us to Iive

So Iisten, Jesus, to the warning I give

l just want us to live

It's aII

Gone sour

ALL: (SINGING) What's the buzz? tell me what's a-happening

What's the buzz? tell me what's a-happening

Why should you want to know?

Don't you mind about the future

Don't you try to think ahead

Save tomorrow for tomorrow

think about today instead

What's the buzz? tell me what's a-happening

-Oh, yeah -What's the buzz?

tell me what's a-happening

l could give you facts and figures

What's the buzz? tell me what's a-happening

-l could give you plans and forecasts -When do we ride into JerusaIem?

When do we ride into JerusaIem?

-Even tell you where l'm going -When do we ride into JerusaIem?

When do we ride into JerusaIem?

Why should you want to know?

Why are you obsessed with fighting?

times and fates you can't defy?

lf you knew the path we're riding

You'd understand it Iess than I

What's the buzz? tell me what's a-happening

Let me try to cool down your face a bit Let me try to cool down your face a bit

Let me try Let me try to cool down your face a bit

Let me try to cool down your face a bit Let me try to cool down your face a bit

Mary, ooh, that is good

While you prattle through your supper

When and where and who and how

She aIone has tried to give me

What l need right here and now

What's the buzz? tell me what's a-happening

(SINGING) lt seems to me a strange thing

Mystifying

that a man like you can waste his time

On women of her kind

Yes, l can understand that

She amuses

But to let her stroke you and kiss your hair

lt's hardly in your line

lt's not that l object to her profession

But she doesn't fit in weII with what you teach and say

lt doesn't help us if you're 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

lf your slate is clean then you can throw stones

lf your slate is not, then leave her alone!

(PEOPLE CLAMOURING)

l'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 l come or go

ALL: No, you're wrong You're very wrong

No, you're wrong You're very wrong

How can you say that?

Not one.

Not one of you !

(SINGING) Good Caiaphas

the CounciI waits for you

the Pharisees

And priests are here for you

Ah

GentIemen

You know why we are here

We've not much time

And quite a problem here

CROWD: Hosanna! Superstar!

Hosanna! Superstar!

Listen to that howling mob

Of bIockheads in the street

A trick or two with lepers

And the whoIe town's on its feet

He is dangerous!

Jesus Christ Superstar

He is dangerous!

tell us that you're who they say you are

the man is in town right now to whip up some support

A rabble-rousing mission

that I think we must abort

He is dangerous!

CROWD: Jesus Christ

Superstar

He is dangerous!

Look, Caiaphas they're right outside our yard

Quick, Caiaphas Go caII the Roman guard

Wait!

We need a more permanent solution

to our problem

What then to do about Jesus of Nazareth?

Miracle wonder man, hero of fools

-No riots -No army

No fighting, no slogans

lnfantile sermons, the multitude drools

We dare not Ieave him to his own devices

His half-witted fans will get out of control

But how can we stop him? His glamour increases

-By leaps every minute -He's top of the pole

l see bad things arising

the crowd crown him king which the Romans wouId ban

I see bIood and destruction

Our eIimination because of one man

BIood and destruction because of one man

Because, because, because of one man

Our eIimination because of one man

Because, because, because of one

'Cause of one, 'cause of one man

What then to 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

A most amazing man

He had that Iook

I asked him to say what had happened

How it all began

He never said a word

As if he hadn't heard

And next

the room was fuII

Of wiId and angry men

they fell on him and then

they disappeared again

thousands of miIIions

Crying for this man

And then I heard them

Mentioning my name

And leaving me

I don't know him !

Peter Don't you know what you have said?

You've gone and cut him dead

I had to do it

Don't you see?

Or eIse they'd go for me

I wonder how he knew

(ALL SHOUtING)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Who is

this broken man

CIuttering up

My hallway?

Who is this unfortunate?

Someone Christ, King of the Jews

Oh, so this is Jesus Christ

l am really quite surprised

You Iook so smaII

(LAUGHtER)

Not a king at all

We all know that you are news

But are you King?

King of the Jews?

that's what you say

(CROWD YELLING)

What do you mean by that?

that is not an answer

You're deep in trouble, friend

Someone Christ, King of the Jews

How can someone in your state

Be so cooI about his fate?

An amazing thing

this silent king

Since you come from GaIiIee

then you need not come to me

You're Herod's race

(YELLING)

He's Herod's case

Hosanna, heysanna

Sanna, sanna, ho

Sanna, heysanna, hosanna

Hey, J.C., J.C.

Please explain to me

You had everything

Where is it now?

Jesus

l 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

(GASPING)

At least that's what you 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'II know it's aII true

Come on, King of the Jews

Jesus, you just won't believe the hit you've made around here

You're aII we taIk about the wonder of the year

Oh, what a pity if it's aII a Iie

StiII 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

lf you do that for me

then l'll let you go free

Come on, King of the Jews

l only ask things l'd ask any superstar

What is it that you have got that puts you where you are?

l am waiting

l'm a captive fan

l'm dying to be shown that you are not just any man

So if you're 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 WonderfuI Christ

You're a joke! You're not the Lord You are nothing but a fraud

take him away

He's got nothing to say!

Get out, you King of the

Get out

Get out, you King of the Jews!

Get out of my life!

(SLOW MUSIC PLAYING)

l've been living to see you

Dying to see you, but it shouldn't be like this

this was unexpected

What do I do now?

CouId we start again, pIease?

l've been very hopeful so far

Now for the first time

l think we're going wrong

Hurry up and tell me

this is aII a dream

Or couId we start again, pIease?

CouId we start again, pIease?

l think you've made your point now

You've even gone a bit too far

to get your message home

Before it gets too frightening

We ought to call a halt

So couId we start again, pIease?

My God, I saw him

He looked three-quarters dead and he was so bad, l had to turn my head

You beat him so hard that he was bent and Iame

And l know who everybody's gonna blame

l don't believe he knows l acted for our good

l'd save him all this suffering if l could

And l acted for our good

Save him if I couId

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

What you have done will be the saving of lsrael

You'II be remembered forever for this

And not only that You've been paid for your efforts

Pretty good wages for one little kiss

Christ, I know you can't hear me

But l only did what you wanted me to

Christ, l'd sell out the nation

For I have been saddIed with the murder of you

l have been spattered with innocent blood

l shall be dragged through the slime and the mud

l have been spattered with innocent blood

l shall be dragged through the slime and the slime and the

SIime and the mud

I

Don't know how to Iove him

l don't know why he moves me

He's a man

He's just a man

He is not a king

He's just the same

As anyone l know

He scares me so

When he's coId and dead

WiII he Iet me be?

Does he Iove Does he love me, too?

Does he care for me?

(WAILS)

(SOBS)

My mind is in darkness now

Oh, God, l am sick!

I've been used!

And you knew all the time!

God! l will never, ever know

Why you chose me

For your crime!

Your foul, bloody crime!

You have murdered me!

You have murdered me

You have murdered me! Murdered me!

Murdered me! Murdered me!

Murdered!

And why is this?

Was Herod unimpressed?

We turn to Rome

We have no Iaw

to put a man to death

We need him crucified

lt's all you have to do

We need him crucified

lt's all you have to do

Talk to me, Jesus Christ You have been brought here

Manacled, beaten by your own people

Do you have the first idea why you deserve it?

Listen, King of the Jews Where is your kingdom?

Look at me Am I a Jew?

l have got no kingdom

ln this world, l'm through

through, through

Talk to me, Jesus Christ

there may be a kingdom for me somewhere

lf l only knew

then you are a king.

lt's you who say l am

l look for truth and find that l get damned

But what is truth? Not easy to define

We both have truths Are yours the same as mine?

CROWD: Crucify him! Crucify him!

What do you mean? You'd crucify your king?

We have no king but Caesar

He's done no wrong No, not the slightest thing

We have no king but Caesar Crucify him!

Well, this is new Respect for Caesar!

till now, this has been noticeably lacking

Who is this Jesus? Why is he different?

You Jews produce messiahs by the sackful

We need him crucified lt's all you have to do

Talk to me, Jesus Christ

Look at your Jesus Christ

l'll agree he's mad

Ought to be Iocked up

But that is not a reason to destroy him

He's a sad IittIe man, not a king or God

Not a thief, l need a crime

KiII him, he says he's God He's a blasphemer

He'II conquer you and us and even Caesar

-Do it! -KiII him!

Crucify him! Crucify him!

Behold the man, behold your shattered king

We have no king but Caesar

You hypocrites, you hate us more than him

We have no king but Caesar Crucify him!

Why you let the things you did get so out of hand

Why'd you choose such a backwards time and such a strange land?

IsraeI in 4 B.C. had no mass communication
