ALL
He is dangerous
PRIEST 2
The man is in town right now to whip up 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 right 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?
CATAPHAS
One thing I’ll say for him — Jesus is cool
ANNAS
We dare not to 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
CAIPHAS
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 5
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
HOSANNA
CROWD
Hosanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna Ho
Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna
Hey JC, JC won’t you smile at me?
Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Superstar
CAIAPHAS
Tell the rabble to be quiet we anticipate a riot
This common crowd is much too loud
Tell the mob who sing your song that they are fools and they are wrong
They are a curse, they should disperse
CROWD
Hosanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna Ho
Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna
Hey JC, JC you’re alright by me
Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Superstar
JESUS
Why waste your breath moaning at the crowd?
Nothing can be done to stop the shouting
If every tongue was still the noise would still continue
The rocks and stones themselves would start to sing:
CROWD (with JESUS)
Hosanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna Ho
Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna
Hey JC, JC won’t you fight for me?
Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Superstar
SIMON ZEALOTES
Christ you know I love you
Did you see I waved?
I believe in you and God
So tell me that I’m saved
Christ you know I love you
Did you see I waved?
I believe in you and God
Se tell me that I’m saved
Jesus I am with you
Touch me touch me Jesus
Jesus I’m on your side
Kiss me kiss me Jesus
SIMON ZEALOTES
Christ, what more do you need to convince you
That you’ve made it and you’re easily as strong
As the filth from Rome who rape our country
And who’ve terrorized our people for so long?
CROWD
Christ you know I love you
Did you see I waved?
I believe in you and God
So tell me that I’m saved
Christ you know I love you
Did you see I waved?
I believe in you and God
So tell me that I’m saved
Jesus I’m on your side
Touch me touch me Jesus
Jesus I am with you
Kiss me kiss me Jesus
SIMON ZEALOTES
There must be over fifty thousand
Screaming love and more for you
Everyone of fifty thousand
Would do whatever you ask him to
Keep them yelling their devotion
But add a touch of hate at Rome
You will rise to a greater power
We will win ourselves a home
You’ll get the power and the glory
For ever and ever and ever
Amen !Amen!
