Jesus Christ Superstar - Then We Are Decided

[KAJFASZ]
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

[KAJFASZ]
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

[KAJFASZ]
The 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

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?
He's a craze

[KAJFASZ]
Put 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

[ANNAS]
Then say so to the council
But don't rely on subtlety
Frigthen them or they won't see

[KAJFASZ]
Then we are decided?

[ANNAS]
Then we are decided.
