Jesus Superstar

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 C'mon 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 if 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 C'mon, 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? 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 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, You King of the Jews Get out of my life

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 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 Not I! Who would? Impossible! 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 - Cut out the dramatics! You know very well who - Why don't you go do it? You want me to do it! Hurry, they are waiting If you knew why I do it I don't care why you do it! To think I admired you For now I despise you You liar - you Judas You wanted me to do it! What if I just stayed here and ruined your ambition? Christ you deserve it! Hurry you fool, hurry and go Save me your speeches I don't want to know - Go! 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 You sad pathetic man - see where you've brought us to Our ideals die around us. All because of you And now 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, jaded, faded, jaded, jaded mandarin Get out! They're waiting! Get out! They're waiting! They're waiting for you! Everytime I look at you I don't understand Why you let the things you did get so out of hand You would've managed better if you had it planned - Ah --- ah 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 Will no-one stay awake with me? Peter? John? James? Will none of you wait with me? Peter? John? James?

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 to 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 say 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 hand 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 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 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 If they 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 All your followers are blind Too much heaven on their minds It was beautiful, but now it's sour Yes it's all gone sour Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give Please remember that I want us to live C'mon, c'mon He won't listen to me C'mon, c'mon He won't listen to me

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 Gonna blame I don't believe he knows I acted for our good I'd save him all the suffering If I could And I acted for our good Save him if I could 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've backed the right horse 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 Christ! I know you can't hear me But I only did what you wanted me to Christ! I've sell out the nation For I have been saddled With the murder of you I have been spattered With innocent blood I should be dragged Through the slime and the mud I have been spattered With innocent blood I should 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's just the same As anyone I know He scares me so When he's cold and dead Will he let me be? Does he love? Does he love me too? Does he care for me? Oh! So long, Judas poor old Judas So long, Judas poor old Judas
