The overture is simply instrumental. In the movie the whole cast
arrives on a bus and begins to unpack props and get into costume
in the middle of a desert. Its really kinda funny. Anyways....on
with the real songs...
Judas:
My mind is clearer now, At last all too well I can see
where we all soon will be.
If you strip away, the myth from the man
you will see where we all soon will be.
JESUS!
You've started to believe the things they say of you
you really do believe this talk of God is true!
And all the good you've done will soon get swept away
you've begun to matter more than the things you say!
Listen jesus I don't like what I see
All I ask is that you listen to me!
And remember I've been your right hand man all along.
You have set them all on fire
they think they've found the new messiah
and they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong.
I remember when this whole thing began
no talk of God then we called you a man
and believe me my admiration for you hasn't died.
But every word you say today
gets twisted 'round some other way
and they'll hurt if they think you've lied.
Nazareth your famous son should have stayed a great unknown
like his father carving wood he'd have made good
tables, chairs, and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best.
He'd have caused nobody harm, noone alarm!
Listen Jesus do you care for you race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied have you forgotten how put down we are?
I am frightened by the crowd
for we are getting much too loud
and they'll crush us if we go too far.
If we go too far!
Listen Jesus to the warning I give
please remember that I want us to live
but its sad to see our chances weakening with every hour!
All your followers are blind!
Too much heaven on thier minds.
It was beautiful but now its sour
Yes its all gone sour!!
Listen Jesus to the warning I give
Please remember that I want us to live!
so come on, come on, he won't listen to me
aaahhh
come on listen listen to me
come on listen to me ahhh
