Jesus Must Die Lyrics - Jesus Christ Superstar

PRIEST ONE 

Good 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.

PRIEST TWO 

Look Caiaphas, they're right outside our yard. 

PRIEST THREE 

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 THREE 

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. 

PRIESTS 

But how can we stop him? 

His glamour increases 

By leaps every moment; 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 (inside) 

Because, because, because of one man. 

CAIAPHAS 

Our elimination because of one man. 

ALL (inside) 

Because, because, because of one, 'cause of one, 'cause of one man. 

PRIEST THREE 

What then to do about this Jesus-mania? 

ANNAS 

Now how to we deal with a carpenter king? 

PRIESTS 

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 stake 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. 

ALL (inside) 

Must die, must die, this Jesus must die. 

CAIAPHAS 

So like John before him, this Jesus must die. 

ALL (inside) 

Must die, must die, this Jesus must, Jesus must, Jesus must die
