Testo This Jezus must die

Testo This Jezus must die

Good Kajaphas, the counsil waits for you.

The Faraziers and priests are here for you.



Ah gentlemen, you know why we are here,
We've not much time and quit a problem here



(Hosanna superstar, hosanna superstar, hosanna superstar, hosanna superstar)



Listen to that howling mob of blockheads in the streets.

A trick or two with leapre and the whole town's on it's feet



He is dangerous

(Jezus christ superstar)

He is dangerous

(Tell us that you're who they say you are



They say he is in town right now to wip up some support.

A rebble-rousing mission, that I think we must abbort.



He is dangerous

(Jezus christ superstar)

He is dangerous



Look Kajaphas, they're right outside our yard.

Quick Kajaphas, go call the Roman guard.

No wait!

We need a more permanent sollution to our problem.



What then to do about Jezus of Nazareth,

miracle, wonderman, hero of fools.

No riots, no army, no fighting, no slogans.

One thing I'll say for him, Jezus is cool.

We cannot leave him to his own devices,

his half-witted fans would get out of control.

How can we stop him? His glamour increases.

By leaps every minute, he's top of the poll.



I see bad things arising, the crowd crown him king, wich the Romans would ban.

I see blood and destruction, our elimination because of one man.

Blood and destruction because of one man.

Because, because, because of one man

Our elimination because of one man

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



What then to do about this Jezusmania?

Now how do we deal with the carpenterking?

Where do we start with a man who is bigger,

than John was when John did his babtism-thing?



Fools you have no perception, the sakes we are gambling are frightningly high.

We must crush him completely,

so like John before him this Jezs must die.

For the sake of the nation this Jezus must die.

Must die, must die, this Jezus must die.

So like John before him, this Jezus must die.

Must die, must die, this Jezus must, Jezus must, Jezus must die.
