Heaven On Their Minds ٠ 1973 ٠ Jesus Christ Superstar OST ٠ Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice ٠ AGP
My mind is clearer now. A-at last all too we'ell I can see where we all soon will be.
If you strip awa-ay The myth fro'om the man You will see where we all soon will be.
Je'e-esus!
You've started to believe The things they say of you, You really do believe This talk of God is tru-ue!
And all the good you've done Will soon get swept away, You've begun to matter more Than the things you sa-h-ay!
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 wro-ong.
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 eee-eevery word you say today Gets twisted 'round some other way And they'll hurt you if they think you've la-aied.
Nazareth, your famous son Should have stayed a great unknown, Like his father carving wood He'd have made goo-ud.
Tables, chairs and oaken chests Would have suited Jesus best - He'd have caused nobody harm, No one ala-arm!
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-aa-aa-ah?!
I am frightened by the crowd For we are getting much too loud, And they'll crush us if we go too fa-ar, If we go-o too-u-u fa-ar-aaaa-aa-aa-ooo!
< Interlude: strings, violins & claps >
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 ev'ry ho-oo-oo-o-o-o-our!
All your followers are blind, Too much Heaven on their minds! It was beautiful but now it's sour... Yes, it's a-all go-o-one so-o-oooo-oo-oo-o-o-our!
Oh-oh-oh-oh, o-o! Ah-ah-ah-ah, a-a!
Listen Jesus to the warning I give! Please remember that I want us to li-ive!
So come on, come on, He won't listen to me, aa-aa-a!.. Ha-ha-ha-, ha-ha-ha-oo-oo! Come on, listen, listen to me! Come o-on and listen to me, aa-aa-a!.. Ha-, ha-ha-ha-oo-oo! Come on listen to me, come on listen, Listen to me, aa-aa-a!..
