Jesus Christ Superstar Soundtrack The Arrest Lyrics

The Arrest Lyrics

(Judas) 

 There he is

 They're all asleep, the fools 

 

 (Jesus) 

 

 Judas, must you betray me 

 With a kiss? 

 

 (Peter and Apostles) 

 

 What's the buzz

 Tell me what's happening

 Hang on Lord

 We're gonna fight for you 

 

 (Jesus) 

 

 Put away your sword

 Don't you know that it's all over

 It was nice but now it's gone

 Why are you obsessed with fighting?

 Stick to fishing from now on 

 

 (Crowd) 

 

 Tell me Christ how you feel tonight

 Do you plan to put up a fight?

 Do you feel that you've had the breaks?

 What would you say were your big mistakes?

 Do you think that you may retire?

 Did you think you would get much higher?

 How do you view your coming trial?

 Have your men proved all worthwhile? 

 

 Come with us to see Caiaphas

 You'll just love the high priest's house

 You'll just love seeing Caiaphas

 You'll just die in the high priest's house 

 

 Come on God this is not like you

 Let us know what you're gonna do

 You know what your supporters feel

 You'll escape in the final reel 

 

 Tell me Christ how you feel tonight

 Do you plan to put up a fight?

 Do you feel that you've had the breaks?

 What would you say were your big mistakes? 

 

 Come with us to see Caiaphas

 You just love the high priest's house

 You just love seeing Caiaphas

 You'll just die in the high priest's house 

 

 Now we have him, now we got him

 Now we have him, now we got him 

 

 (Caiaphas) 

 

 Jesus you must realize

 The serious charges facing you

 You say you're the son of God

 In all your handouts

 Well is it true? 

 

 (Jesus) 

 

 That's what you say

 You say that I am 

 

 (Annas) 

 

 Now that we have the gentleman

 What more evidence do we need?

 Judas, thank you for the victim

 Stay a while and you'll see him bleed! 

 

 (Crowd) 

 

 Now we have him, now we got him

 Take him to Pilate, take him to Pilate!
