This song continues Caiaphas and Annas' story. At a meeting with the other priests and Pharisees, they express how dangerous they think Jesus is. As they’re making their case, the group hears Jesus' followers singing their own song below.
Pressed to arrest Jesus on the spot, Caiaphas refuses, sayin...
[PRIEST 1]
Dear Caiaphas, the council 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!
Hosanna, Superstar!
Hosanna, Superstar!
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
[PRIESTS]
He is dangerous
[MOB]
Jesus Christ Superstar
[PRIESTS]
He is dangerous
[MOB]
Tell us that you're who they say you are
[PRIEST 2]
That man is in town right now to whip up some support
[PRIEST 3]
A rabble-rousing mission that I think we must abort
[PRIESTS]
He is dangerous
[MOB]
Jesus Christ Superstar
[PRIESTS]
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
[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 4]
But how can we stop him?
[PRIEST 5]
His glamor increases
[PRIEST 6]
By leaps ev'ry minute
[PRIEST 7]
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
[PRIESTS]
Because, because, because of one man
[CAIAPHAS]
Our elimination because of one man
[PRIESTS]
Because, because, because
'Cause of one, 'cause of one man
[PRIEST 3]
What then to do about this Jesus mania?
[ANNAS]
Nor how do we deal with a carpenter king?
[PRIEST 2]
Where do we start with a man who is bigger
[PRIEST 5]
Than John was when John did his baptism thing?
[CAIAPHAS]
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
[PRIESTS]
Must die, must die, this Jesus must die
[CAIAPHAS]
So like John before him, this Jesus must die
[PRIESTS]
Must die, must die
This Jesus must, Jesus must, Jesus must die
This Jesus Must Die was written by Tim Rice & Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Jesus Christ Superstar Cast released This Jesus Must Die on Tue Mar 24 1998.
