Jesus Christ Superstar Script - Dialogue Transcript

Voila! Finally, the Jesus Christ Superstar script is here for all you quotes (and lyrics) spouting fans of the movie based on the musical play.  This script is a transcript that was painstakingly transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of Jesus Christ Superstar. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and I'll be eternally tweaking it, so if you have any corrections, feel free to drop me a line. You won't hurt my feelings. Honest.

Jesus Christ Superstar Script






 

                   

[ "Superstar" Instrumental ]



 

                   

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



  

                   

And our conquerors object

to another noisy sect



  

                   

And they'll crush us

if we go too far



  

                   

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



  

                   

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



  

                   

So Listen, Jesus

to the warning I give



  

                   

I just want us to live



  

                   

It's sour



  

                   

Gone sour



  

                   

What's the buzz

Tell me what's happening



  

                   

What's the buzz

Why should you

Don't you mind

about the future



  

                   

Don't you try

to think ahead



  

                   

Save tomorrow

for tomorrow

Facts and figures



  

                   

Tell me what's a-happenin'



  

                   

- Even give you plans and forecasts

- When do we ride to Jerusalem



  

                   

- Even tell you where I'm goin'

- When do we ride to Jerusalem



  

                   

When do we ride to Jerusalem

When do we ride to Jerusalem



  

                   

Why should you

want to know



  

                   

Why are you obsessed

with fighting



  

                   

Times and fates

you can't defy



  

                   

If you knew

the path we're riding



  

                   

You'd understand it

less than I



  

                   

What's the buzz

Tell me what's a-happenin'



  

                   

Let me try to cool down your face a bit,

Let me try to cool down your face a bit

Oh, let me try

To cool down your face



  

                   

Let me try to cool down

your face a bit



  

                   

Mary, mmm, that is good



  

                   

While you prattle

through your supper



  

                   

Where and when

and who and how



  

                   

She alone

is trying to give me



  

                   

What I need

right here and now



  

                   

What's the buzz

Tell me what's a-happenin'

What's the buzz

Tell me what's a-happening



  

                   

What's the buzz

Tell me what's a-happenin'



  

                   

It seems to me

a strange thing



  

                   

Mystifying



  

                   

That a man like you

can waste his time



   

                   

On women of her kind



   

                   

Yes, I can understand that



   

                   

She amuses



   

                   

But to let her kiss you

and stroke your hair



   

                   

It'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're inconsistent



   

                   

They only need

a small excuse



   

                   

To put us all away



   

                   

Who are you

to criticize 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 come or go



   

                   

No, you're wrong

You're very wrong



   

                   

How can you say that

How can you say that



   

                   

Not one.

Not one of you!



   

                   

Try not to get worried

Try not to turn onto



   

                   

Problems that upset you



   

                   

Don't you know

everything's all right



   

                   

Yes, everything's fine



   

                   

And we want you

to sleep well tonight



   

                   

Let the world turn

without you tonight



   

                   

If we try, we'll get by

so forget all about us



   

                   

- Tonight

- Everything's all right, yes



   

                   

Everything's

all right, yes



   

                   

Sleep and I shall soothe you

calm you and anoint you



   

                   

- Myrrh for your hot forehead

- Ah



   

                   

Then you'll feel everything's all right

Yes, everything's fine



   

                   

And it's cool and

the ointment's sweet



   

                   

For the fire

in your head and feet



   

                   

Close your eyes

Close your eyes



   

                   

And relax

Think of nothing



   

                   

- Tonight

- Everything's all right, yes



   

                   

- Everything's all right, yes

- Hey, hey, woman



   

                   

Your fine ointment

brand-new and expensive



   

                   

Should have been saved

for the poor



   

                   

Why has it been wasted

We could have raised maybe



   

                   

Three hundred

silver pieces or more



   

                   

People who are hungry

People who are starving



   

                   

They matter more

than your



   

                   

Feet and hair



   

                   

Try not to get worried

Try not to turn onto



   

                   

- Problems that upset you

- Oh



   

                   

- Don't you know everything's all right

- All right, yes



   

                   

And we want you

to sleep well tonight



   

                   

Let the world turn

without you tonight



   

                   

If we try, we'll get by

so forget all about us tonight



   

                   

Everything's all right, yes



   

                   

Surely you're not saying



   

                   

We have the resources



   

                   

To save the poor

from their lot



   

                   

There will be poor always

pathetically struggling



   

                   

Look at the good things

you've got



   

                   

Think while

you still have me



   

                   

Move while

you still see me



   

                   

You'll be lost

and you'll be sorry



   

                   

When I'm gone



   

                   

Sleep and I shall soothe you

calm you and anoint you



   

                   

- Myrrh for your hot forehead

- Oh



   

                   

Then you'll feel

everything's all right, yes



   

                   

Everything's fine and it's cool

and the ointment's sweet



   

                   

For the fire

in your head and feet



   

                   

Close your eyes

Close your eyes and relax



   

                   

- Think of nothing tonight

- Tonight close your eyes and relax



   

                   

- Think of nothing

- Close your eyes, Close your eyes



   

                   

- And relax

- Everything's all right, yes



   

                   

- Close your eyes Close your eyes and relax

- Everything's all right, yes



   

                   

Good Caiaphas



   

                   

The Council

waits for you



   

                   

The Pharisees



   

                   

And priests

are here for you



   

                   

Ah, gentlemen



   

                   

You know

why we are here



   

                   

We've not much time



   

                   

And quite

a problem here



   

                   

Hosanna, Superstar



   

                   

Hosanna

Superstar



   

                   

Hosanna, Superstar



   

                   

Hosanna

Superstar



   

                   

Listen to

that howling mob



   

                   

Of blockheads

in the street



   

                   

A trick or two

with lepers



   

                   

And the whole town's

on its feet



   

                   

He is dangerous



   

                   

Jesus Christ

Superstar



   

                   

He is dangerous



   

                   

Tell us that you're

who they say you are



   

                   

That man is in town right now

to whip up some support



   

                   

A rabble-rousing mission

that I think we must abort



   

                   

He is dangerous



   

                   

Jesus Christ



   

                   

Superstar



   

                   

He is dangerous



   

                   

Look, Caiaphas

They're right outside our yard



   

                   

Quick, Caiaphas

Go call the Roman guard



   

                   

No, wait



   

                   

We need a more permanent solution

to our problem



   

                   

What then to do

about Jesus of Nazareth



   

                   

Miracle wonderman

hero of fools



   

                   

No riots, no army

no fighting, no slogans



   

                   

One thing I'll say for him

Jesus is cool



   

                   

We cannot leave him

to his own devices



   

                   

His half-witted fans

will get out of control



   

                   

- How can we stop him

- His glamour increases



   

                   

- By leaps every minute

- He's top of the pole



   

                   

I see

bad things arising



   

                   

The crowd crowned 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



   

                   

Because, because, because of one man



   

                   

Our elimination

because of one man



   

                   

Because, because

because of one



   

                   

Cause of one

cause of one man



   

                   

What then to do

about this Jesus mania



   

                   

Oh, 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



   

                   

Hosanna, Heysanna

Sanna, sanna, ho



   

                   

Sanna, heysanna

hosanna



   

                   

Hey, J.C., J.C.



   

                   

Won't you smile at me



   

                   

Sanna, hosanna

Hey, superstar



   

                   

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



   

                   

Hosanna, heysanna

Sanna, sanna, ho



   

                   

Sanna, heysanna

hosanna



   

                   

Hey, J.C., J.C.

You're all right by me



   

                   

Sanna, hosanna

Hey, superstar



   

                   

Why waste your breath

moaning at the crowd



   

                   

Nothing can be done

to stop the shouting



   

                   

If every tongue

were still



   

                   

The noise

would still continue



   

                   

The rocks and stones

themselves



   

                   

Would start to sing



   

                   

Hosanna, heysanna

sanna, sanna, ho



   

                   

Sanna, heysanna

hosanna



   

                   

Hey, J.C., J.C.

won't you fight for me



   

                   

Sanna, hosanna

Hey, superstar



   

                   

Sing me a song

but not for me alone



   

                   

Sing out for yourselves...



   

                   

For you are blessed



   

                   

There is not one of you

who cannot win the Kingdom



   

                   

The slow, the suffering



   

                   

The quick, the dead



   

                   

Hosanna, heysanna

sanna, sanna, ho



   

                   

Sanna, heysanna

hosanna



   

                   

Hey, J.C., J.C.

would you die for me



   

                   

Sanna, hosanna

Hey, superstar



   

                   

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 am with you

Touch me, Touch me, Jesus



   

                   

Jesus, I am on your side

Kiss me, Kiss me, Jesus



   

                   

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



   

                   

Christ, you know I love you

Did you see I waved



   

                   

Listen, Jesus



   

                   

Christ, you know I love you

Did you see I waved



   

                   

I believe in you and God

so tell me that I'm saved



   

                   

I'm with you Jesus



   

                   

Jesus, I am on your side

Kiss me, Kiss me, Jesus



   

                   

There must be over      



   

                   

Screamin' love and more for you



   

                   

And every one

of      



   

                   

Would do whatever ya asked them to



   

                   

Keep them yellin'

their devotion



   

                   

But add a touch

of hate at Rome



   

                   

You will rise

to greater power



   

                   

We will win ourselves

a home



   

                   

- You'll get the power and the glory

- You'll get the glory



   

                   

- Forever and ever and ever

- Ever and ever



   

                   

- You'll get the power and the glory

- You'll get the power



   

                   

- Forever and ever and ever

- Ever and ever



   

                   

- Forever and ever and ever

- You'll get the glory



   

                   

You'll get the power and the glory



   

                   

Forever and ever and ever



   

                   

You'll get the power and the glory



   

                   

Forever and ever



   

                   

Forever

Amen



   

                   

Neither you, Simon



   

                   

Nor the      



   

                   

Nor the Romans

nor the Jews



   

                   

Nor Judas

nor the twelve



   

                   

Nor the priests

nor the scribes



   

                   

Nor doomed Jerusalem

itself



   

                   

Understand

what power is



   

                   

Understand

what glory is



   

                   

Understand at all



   

                   

Understand

at all



   

                   

If you knew



   

                   

All that I knew



   

                   

My poor Jerusalem



   

                   

You'd see the truth



   

                   

But you live a lie



   

                   

But you live a lie



   

                   

While you live



   

                   

Your troubles are many



   

                   

Poor Jerusalem



   

                   

To conquer death



   

                   

You only have to die



   

                   

You only have

to die



   

                   

I dreamed

I met a Galilean



   

                   

A most amazing man



   

                   

He had that look

you very rarely find



   

                   

The haunting, 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 and then



   

                   

They disappeared again



   

                   

Then I saw

thousands of millions



   

                   

Crying for this man



   

                   

And then I heard them

mentioning my name



   

                   

And leaving me

the blame



   

                   

Roll on up for my price is down

Come on in for the best in town



   

                   

Take your pick of the finest wine

Lay your bets on this bird of mine



   

                   

Roll on up for my price is down

Come on in for the best in town



   

                   

Take your pick of the finest wine

Lay your bets on this bird of mine



   

                   

Name your price, I got everything

Hurry, It's all going fast



   

                   

Borrow cash

on the finest terms



   

                   

Hurry now

while stocks still last



   

                   

Roll on up, Jerusalem



   

                   

What you see

is what you get



   

                   

No one's been

disappointed yet



   

                   

Don't be scared

Give me a try



   

                   

There is nothing

you can't buy



   

                   

Roll on up for my price is down

Come on in for the best in town



   

                   

Take your pick of the finest wine

Lay your bets on this bird of mine



   

                   

Roll on up for my price is down

Come on in for the best in town



   

                   

My temple

should be



   

                   

A house of prayer



   

                   

But you have made it



   

                   

A den of thieves



   

                   

Get out! Get out!



   

                   

My time



   

                   

Is almost through



   

                   

Little left to do



   

                   

After all, I've tried

for three years



   

                   

Seems like   



   

                   

Feels like   



   

                   

See my eyes

I can hardly see



   

                   

See me stand

I can hardly walk



   

                   

I believe

you can make me whole



   

                   

See my tongue

I can hardly talk



   

                   

See my skin

I'm a mass of blood



   

                   

Change my life

Oh I know you can



   

                   

I believe

you can make me well



   

                   

See my purse

I'm a poor, poor man



   

                   

Will you touch

Will you mend me, Christ



   

                   

Won't you touch

Will you heal me, Christ



   

                   

Will you kiss

You can cure me, Christ



   

                   

Won't you kiss

Won't you pay me, Christ



   

                   

See our eyes

We can hardly see



   

                   

See us stand

We can hardly walk



   

                   

We believe

you can make us whole



   

                   

See my tongue

I can hardly talk



   

                   

See my skin

I'm a mass of blood



   

                   

See my legs

I can hardly stand



   

                   

We believe

you can make us well



   

                   

See my purse

I'm a poor, poor man



   

                   

Will you touch

Will you mend me, Christ



   

                   

Won't you touch

Will you heal me, Christ



   

                   

Will you kiss

You can cure me, Christ



   

                   

Won't you kiss

Won't you pay me, Christ



   

                   

See our eyes

We can hardly see



   

                   

See us stand

We can hardly walk



   

                   

We believe you can make us whole

See our tongue we can hardly talk



   

                   

See our skin, We're a mass of blood



   

                   

There's too many of you!



   

                   

Don't push me!



   

                   

Too little of me!



   

                   

Don't crowd me!



   

                   

Try not to get worried

Try not to turn onto



   

                   

Problems that upset you

Oh



   

                   

Don't you know

everything's all right



   

                   

Yes, everything's fine



   

                   

And I think I shall sleep

Well tonight



   

                   

Let the world turn

without me tonight



   

                   

Close your eyes

Close your eyes



   

                   

And forget

all about us



   

                   

Tonight



   

                   

I don't know

how to love him



   

                   

What 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 ya 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



   

                   

Now if I help you

it matters that you see



   

                   

These sordid kind of 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 have 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



   

                   

I came because I had to

I'm the one who saw



   

                   

Jesus can't control it

like he did before



   

                   

Furthermore, I know

that Jesus thinks so too



   

                   

Jesus wouldn't mind

that I was here with you



   

                   

I have 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 am I the one



   

                   

Who sees the sad solution

Knows what must be done



   

                   

I have 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



   

                   

Cut the protesting

Forget the excuses



   

                   

We want information

Get up off the floor



   

                   

We have the papers

we need to arrest him



   

                   

You know his movements

We know the law



   

                   

Your help in this matter

won't go unrewarded



   

                   

We'll pay you in silver

cash on the nail



   

                   

We just need to know

where the soldiers can find him



   

                   

- With no crowd 'round him

- Then we can't fail



   

                   

I don't need

your blood money



   

                   

Oh, that doesn't matter

Our expenses are good



   

                   

I don't want

your blood money



   

                   

But you might as well take it

We think that you should



   

                   

Think of the things

you can 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-- 



   

                   

- A fee.

- A fee, nothing more



   

                   

On Thursday night



   

                   

You'll find him

where you want him



   

                   

Far from the crowds



   

                   

In the Garden



   

                   

Of Gethsemane



   

                   

So long, Judas



   

                   

So long, Judas



   

                   

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



   

                   

No! No!





 

                   

Peter will deny me



 

                   

- No, not 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    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

Well, 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, 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

brought us to



  

                   

Our ideals die around us

and all because of you



  

                   

But the saddest cut of all

Someone had 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



  

                   

Get out

They're waiting



  

                   

Get out



  

                   

They're waiting

Oh, they're waiting for you



  

                   

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



  

                   

A-a-a-ah



  

                   

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



  

                   

I only want to say



  

                   

lf 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   



  

                   

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 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 see

I'd have to see, my Lord



  

                   

If I die

what will be my reward



  

                   

Have to know

I'd have to know, my Lord



  

                   

Why



  

                   

Shall 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 Your wanting me to die



  

                   

You're far too keen

on where and how



  

                   

But not so hot on why



  

                   

All right



  

                   

I'll die



  

                   

Just watch me die



  

                   

See how



  

                   

See how I'll die



  

                   

Then I was inspired



  

                   

Now I'm sad and tired.



  

                   

After all



   

                   

I've tried for three years.



   

                   

Seems like   .



   

                   

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



   

                   

There he is



   

                   

They're all asleep,

the fools



   

                   

Judas,



   

                   

must you betray me...



   

                   

With a kiss



   

                   

What's the buzz

Tell me what's happening



   

                   

What's the buzz

Tell me what's happenin'



   

                   

Tell me what's happenin'



   

                   

What's the buzz

Tell me what's a-happening



   

                   

What's the buzz

Tell me what's a-happenin'



   

                   

Hang on, Lord

We're gonna fight for you



   

                   

- Hang on, Lord. We're gonna fight for you

- Hang on, Lord



   

                   

Hang on, Lord

We're gonna fight for you



   

                   

- Hang on, Lord. We're gonna fight for you

- We're gonna fight for you



   

                   

Put away your sword



   

                   

Don't you know

that it's all over



   

                   

It was nice, but



   

                   

Now it's gone



   

                   

Why are you obsessed

with fighting



   

                   

Stick to fishing

from now on



   

                   

Tell me, Christ

how you feel tonight



   

                   

Do you plan

to put up a fight



   

                   

Do you feel that

you've had the breaks



   

                   

What would you say

were your big mistakes



   

                   

How do you view

your coming trial



   

                   

Have your men proved

it's all worthwhile



   

                   

Come with us

to see Caiaphas



   

                   

You'll just love

the high priest's house



   

                   

You'll just love

seeing Caiaphas



   

                   

You'll just die

in the high priest's house



   

                   

Come on, God

This is not like you



   

                   

Let us know

what you're gonna do



   

                   

You know what

your supporters feel



   

                   

You'll escape

in the final reel



   

                   

Tell me, Christ

how you feel tonight



   

                   

Do you plan

to put up a fight



   

                   

Do you feel that

you had the breaks



   

                   

What would you say

were your big mistakes



   

                   

Come with us

to see Caiaphas



   

                   

You'll just love

the high priest's house



   

                   

You'll just love

seeing Caiaphas



   

                   

You'll just die

in the high priest's house



   

                   

Now we have him

Now we've got him



   

                   

Now we have him now

We have got him now



   

                   

Jesus, you must realize



   

                   

The serious charges

facing you



   

                   

You say you're the Son of God

in all your handouts. Well, is it true



   

                   

That's what you say

You say that I am



   

                   

There you have it, gentlemen

What more evidence do we need



   

                   

Judas, thank you

for the victim



   

                   

Stay a while

You'll see it bleed



   

                   

Now we have him

Now we've got him



   

                   

Take him to Pilate

Take him to Pilate



   

                   

I think I've

seen you somewhere



   

                   

I remember.



   

                   

You were with that man

they took away



   

                   

I recognize

your face



   

                   

You've got

the wrong man, lady



   

                   

I don't know him



   

                   

And I wasn't where

he was tonight



   

                   

Never near the place



   

                   

That's strange for I am sure

I saw you with him



   

                   

You were right by his side

and yet you denied



   

                   

I tell you

I was never, ever with him



   

                   

But I saw you too.

He looked just like you.



   

                   

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 else

they'd go for me



   

                   

It's what he told us

you would do



   

                   

I wonder

how he knew



   

                   

Who is



   

                   

This broken man



   

                   

Cluttering up



   

                   

My hallway



   

                   

Who is this unfortunate



   

                   

Someone Christ

King of the Jews



   

                   

Oh. So this is

Jesus Christ.



   

                   

I am really

quite surprised



   

                   

You look so small.



   

                   

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.



   

                   

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 cool

about his fate



   

                   

An amazing thing,



   

                   

this silent king.



   

                   

Since you come

from Galilee



   

                   

Then you need not

come to me



   

                   

You're Herod's race.



   

                   

You're Herod's case.



   

                   

Hosanna

Heysanna



   

                   

Sanna

sanna ho



   

                   

Sanna, heysanna, ho

and how



   

                   

Hey, J.C., J.C.



   

                   

Please explain to me



   

                   

You had everything

Where is it now



   

                   

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



   

                   

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

Then 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

You're 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

Yes, 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 what 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



   

                   

Uh, or has something gone wrong?

Jesus, why do you take so long?



   

                   

Come on,

King of the Jews!



   

                   

Hey, aren't you



   

                   

Scared of me, Christ



   

                   

Mister 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--



   

                   

Get out



   

                   

Get out, you King of the Jews!



   

                   

Get out you King of the Jews!



   

                   

Get out of my life!



   

                   

I'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



   

                   

Could we start again

please



   

                   

I've been very hopeful

so far



   

                   

Now for the first time



   

                   

I think we're going wrong



   

                   

Hurry up and tell me

This is just a dream



   

                   

Or could we start again

please



   

                   

I 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 could we start again

please

So Could we start again



   

                   

Could we start again



   

                   

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 this suffering

if I could



   

                   

And I'd save him

if I could



   

                   

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 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'd sell out

the nation



   

                   

For I have been saddled

with the murder of you



   

                   

I have been spattered

with innocent blood



   

                   

I shall be dragged through

the slime and the mud



   

                   

I have been spattered

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'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



   

                   

My mind is in darkness.



   

                   

God. God, I'm sick!



   

                   

I've been used!



   

                   

And You knew

all the time!



   

                   

God-- God, I will never know

why You chose me...



   

                   

for Your crime!



   

                   

For Your bloody crime!



   

                   

You have murdered me!



   

                   

Murdered me!

Murdered me! Murdered me!



   

                   

Murdered me! Murdered me!

Murdered me!



   

                   

So long, Judas



   

                   

And so, the king

is once again my guest



   

                   

And why is this



   

                   

Was Herod unimpressed



   

                   

We turn 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



   

                   

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



   

                   

I have no kingdom.



   

                   

In this world,

I'm through.



   

                   

There may be a kingdom...



   

                   

for me somewhere.



   

                   

If I only knew.



   

                   

- Then you are a king.

- It's you that say I am



   

                   

I look for truth

and find that I get damned



   

                   

And what is truth

Is truth unchanging law



   

                   

We both have truths

Are mine the same as yours



   

                   

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!



   

                   

Until 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

It's all you have to do



   

                   

Talk to me

Jesus Christ



   

                   

Look at

your Jesus Christ



   

                   

I'll agree

he's mad



   

                   

Ought to be locked up



   

                   

But that is not a reason

to destroy him



   

                   

He's a sad little man

not a king or god



   

                   

Not a thief

I need a crime



   

                   

Crucify him! Crucify 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



   

                   

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!



   

                   

Crucify him! Crucify him!

Crucify him!



   

                   

Crucify!

Crucify! Crucify!



   

                   

Crucify him! Crucify him!

Crucify! Crucify! Crucify!



   

                   

Crucify! Crucify him!

Crucify him!



   

                   

Crucify! Crucify!

Crucify! Crucify!



   

                   

One,



   

                   

two,



   

                   

three, four,

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 hold your life

in my hands



   

                   

How can you

stay quiet



   

                   

I don't believe

you understand



   

                   

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.



   

                   

You're a fool,

Jesus Christ!

Mmm, 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 and such a strange land



   

                   

If you'd come today you could

have reached the whole nation



   

                   

Israel in   B.C. had

no mass communication
