Then We Are Decided — текст песни (Jesus Christ Superstar)

CAIAPHASWe`ve been sitting on the fence for far too long

ANNASWhy let him upset us?
Caiaphas - let him be
All those imbeciles will see
He really doesn`t matter

CAIAPHASJesus is important
We `ve let him go his way before
And while he starts a major war
We theorize and chatter

ANNASHe`s just another scripture-thumping hack from Galilee

CAIAPHASThe 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?

ANNASThey`ve got what they want - they think so anyway
If he`s what they want why take their toy away?
He`s a craze

CAIAPHASPut 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

ANNASThen say so to the council
But don`t rely on subtlety
Frigthen them or they won`t see

CAIAPHASThen we are decided?

ANNASThen we are decided.
