Jesus Christ Superstar.1973 movie.
Then We Are Decided

Filmed primarily in Avdat,the Dead Sea and the Bell Caverns in Israel, Jesus Christ Superstar is a 1973, Oscar-nominated film adaptation of the rock opera of the same name, based on the conflict between Judas and Jesus in the last weeks before the crucifixion of Jesus. The film was directed by Norman Jewison. Ted Neeley and Carl Anderson were nominated for two 1974 Golden Globe Award for their portrayals of Jesus and Judas, respectively.

Though it attracted criticism from some religious groups, the film was generally well received.

Lyrics by Tim Rice - Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Caiaphas:
We've been sitting on the fence for far too long

Annas
Why let him upset us? Ciaphas, let him be.
All those imbecils will see he really doesn't matter.

Caiaphas
But 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.

Caiaphas
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 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?

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.

Caiaphas
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 devided.

Annas

Then say so to the council, but don't rely on subtly.
Frighten them, or they won't see.

Caiaphas
Then we are decided?

Annas
Then we are decided.

@HobbitAnnyBaggins Yeah!! I think he's got a very masculine beauty. And what a voice!!

[skybluejellybeans]

The difference IS that we call Him "King", just as Caiaphas says! It breaks my heart that it frightens them, though. "Put yourself in my place" ... so very sad :(

[teariedearie]

@HobbitAnnyBaggins Very!

[FoxfirePoet]

This song really highlights the predicament the Jews were unwittingly placed in with the whole Jesus situation.

"hes just another scripture thumping hack from galilee" oh shit. annis has the floor.

[Johnnylightning93]

@RlCBNH Why was this song created? Did they want to make the movie different from the play?

[STOBMNT]

@wolfmon42

They use similar chords in that song

[wolfmon42]

@STOBMNT Possibly. That green day album had lots of classic influences.

[STOBMNT]

I think green day were thinking in this song when they wrote Boulevard of broken dreams

[CaptainFear]

@sgtfish360 any idea of how to get the sheet music to this number....I would love to put it in a production...
