PILATE
And so the King is once again my guest.
And why is this? Was Herod unimpressed?

CAIAPHAS
We turned 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.

PILATE
Talk to me Jesus Christ.
You have been brought here
Manacled and beaten by your own people.
Do you have the faintest idea why you deserve it?
Listen King of the Jews,
Where is your kingdom?
Look at me. Am I a Jew?

JESUS
I have no kingdom in the world I'm through.

CHOIR
Talk to me Jesus Christ

JESUS
There may be a kingdom for me somewhere. If I only knew.

PILATE
Then you are a King?

JESUS
It's you that say I am.
I look for truth and find that I get damned.

PILATE
But what is truth? Is truth unchanging law?
We both have truths. Are mine the same as yours?

CHOIR
Crucify him! Crucify him!

PILATE
What do you mean? You'd crucify your King?

CHOIR
We have no King but Ceaser!

PILATE
He's done no wrong. No, not the slightest thing.

CHOIR
We have no King but Ceaser! Crucify him!

PILATE
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!

CHOIR
Crucify him! Crucify him!

39 LASHES

PILATE
Where are you from Jesus?
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 have your life in my hands?
How can you stay quiet? I don't believe you understand.

JESUS
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.

PILATE
You're a fool Jesus Christ! How can I help you?

CHOIR
Pilate, Crucify him!
Remember Ceaser. You have a duty.
To keep the peace, so crucify him!
Remember Ceaser! You'll be demoted!
You'll be deported! Crucify him!

PILATE
Don't let me stop your great self-destruction.
Die if you want to, you misguided martyr!
I wash my hands of you demolition.
Die if you want to, you innocent puppet!

FIRST CHOIR MAN
Everytime I look at you I don't understand
Why you let the things you do get so out of hand
You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned.
Why'd you choose such a backward time in such a strange land?
If you'd come today you would have reached the whole nation.
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication.
Don't get me wrong now. Don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong.
I only want to know...

CHOIR
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ, Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?

SECOND CHOIR MAN
Tell me what you think about your friends at the top.
Who'd you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop?
Buddha, was he where it's at is he where you are?
Could Mahomet move a mountain, or was that just PR?
Did you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake, or
Did you know your messy death would be a record breaker?
Don't you get me wrong...Don't get me wrong now. Don't get me wrong.
I only want to know...

CHOIR
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ, Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
