The Arrest Songtext

von Jesus Christ Superstar

Jesus
Judas - must you betray me with a kiss?

Peter
What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening
What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening
What's happening?

Peter and Apostles
What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening...
Hang on Lord we're gonna fight for you...

Peter
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 feel your coming trial?
Have your man proved it's all worthwile?

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 supportes 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'll just love the High Priest's house
You'll just love seeing Caiaphas
You'll just die in the High Priest's house

Now we have him! Now we've 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
There you have it gentlemen -
What more evidence do we need
Judas thank you for the victim -
Stay a while you'll see it bleed!

Crowd
Now we have him! Now e've got him!...
Take him to Pilate!...
