Act 1

Heaven On Their Minds

JUDAS
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
Get's 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 chest 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?
I am frightened by the crowd.
For we are getting much too loud.
And they'll crush us 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.
All your followers are blind.
Too much heaven on their minds.
It was beautiful but now it's sour.
Yes it's all gone sour......

What's the Buzz

APOSTLES
What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening.

JESUS
Why should you want to know?
Don't you mind about the future?
Don't you try to think ahead?
Save tomorrow for tomorrow.
Think about today instead.

APOSTLES
What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening.

JESUS
I could give you facts and figures.
I could give you plans and forecasts.
Even tell you where I'm going.

APOSTLES
When do we ride into Jerusalem?

JESUS
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.

APOSTLES
What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening.

MARY MAGDALENE
Let me try to cool down your face a bit.

JESUS
That feels nice, so nice....
Mary that is good -
While you prattle through your supper -
Where and when and who and how
She alone has tried to give me
What I need right here and now.

APOSTLES
What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening.

Strange Thing Mystifying

JUDAS
It seems to me a strange thing, mystifying
That a man like you could waste his time on women of her kind.
Yes, I can understand that she amuses,
But to let her stroke you, kiss your hair, is 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.

JESUS
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.

ALL (save Jidas and Jesus)
No, you're wrong! You're very wrong!
No, you're wrong, You're very wrong!
How can you say that?
How can you say that!?

JESUS
Not one, not one of you!

Everything's Alright

MARY MAGDALENE
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh.
Don't you know
Everything's alright, 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.

CHOIR
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.

MARY MAGDALENE
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you, and anoint you...
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh.
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright, 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.

CHOIR
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.

JUDAS
Woman, your fine ointment, brand new and expensive
Could 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.

MARY MAGDALENE
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh.
Don't you know
Everything's alright, 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.

CHOIR
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes.

JESUS
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, you'll be so sorry when I'm gone.

MARY MAGDALENE
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you...
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh.
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright, 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....

CHOIR
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes......

And Then We Are Decided

(Included only in the motion picture)

CAIAPHAS
We've been sitting on the fence for far too long.

ANNAS
Why let him upset us? Caiaphas, let him be.
All those imbeciles will see he really doesn't matter.

CAIAPHAS
But Jesus is important! We've let him go his way before.
And while he starts a major war, we theorize and chatter.

ANNAS
He's just another scripture thumping hack from Galilee.

CAIAPHAS
The difference is they call him King. The difference frightens me.
What about the Roman's? When they see Jesus crowned
Do you think they'll stand around cheering and applauding?
What about our people? If they see we've lost our nerve,
Don't you think that they deserve something more rewarding?

ANNAS
They've got what they want. They think so anyway.
If he's what they want, why take their toy away?

CAIAPHAS
Put yourself in my place.
I cannot let my hands be tied. I am law and order.
What about our priesthood? Don't you see that we could fall?
If we are to last at all, we cannot be divided.

ANNAS
Then say so to the council, but don't rely on subtlety.
Frighten them, or they won't see.

CAIAPHAS
Then we are decided?

ANNAS
Then we are decided.

This Jesus Must Die

ANNAS
Good, Caiaphas, the council waits for you.

GAMALIEL
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.

CHOIR (outside)
Hosanna Superstar!
Hosanna Superstar!
Hosanna Superstar!
Hosanna Superstar!

ANNAS
Listen to the howling mob of blockheads in the street!
A trick or two with lepers, and the whole towns on its feet.

ALL (inside)
He is dangerous!

CHOIR (outside)
Jesus Christ ...Superstar!

ALL (inside)
He is dangerous!

CHOIR (outside)
Tell us that you're who they say you are!

GAMALIEL
The man is in town right now to whip up some support

ANNAS
A rabble rousing mission that I think we should abort.

ALL (inside)
He is dangerous!

CHOIR (outside)
Jesus Christ Superstar!

ALL (inside)
He is dangerous!

GAMALIEL
Look Caiaphas -they're right outside our yard!

ANNAS
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.

GAMALIEL
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.

GAMALIEL
But how can we stop him? His glamour increases
By leaps every minute, 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, 'cause of one man.

GAMALIEL
What then to do about this Jesusmania?

ANNAS
How do we deal with this carpenter king?

GAMALIEL
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!
