Then We Are Decided — Jesus Christ Superstar

CAIAPHASWe've been sitting on the fence for far too long

ANNASWhy let him upset us? Caiaphas - let him be All those imbeciles will see He really doesn't matter

CAIAPHASJesus is important We 've let him go his way before And while he starts a major war We theorize and chatter

ANNASHe's just another scripture-thumping hack from Galilee

CAIAPHASThe difference is they call him king - the difference frightens me What about the Romans When they see king 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?

ANNASThey've got what they want - they think so anyway If he's what they want why take their toy away? He's a craze

CAIAPHASPut yourself in my place I can hardly step aside 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

ANNASThen say so to the council But don't rely on subtlety Frigthen them or they won't see

CAIAPHASThen we are decided?

ANNASThen we are decided.
