Musicals – Jesus Christ Superstar: The Arrest lyrics

JUDAS:
There he is
They're all asleep, the fools

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
Tell me what's happening ohh

APOSTLES:
What's the buzz
Tell me what's happening
What's the buzz
Tell me what's happening
What's the buzz
Tell me what's happening
What's the buzz
Tell me what's happening

Hang on Lord
We're gonna fight for you
Hang on Lord
We're gonna fight for you
Hang on Lord
We're gonna fight for you
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 it all worth while?

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 going to do.
You know what you're 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'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 have got him!
Now we have him!
Now we have got him!
Now we have him!
Now we have got him!
Now we have him!
Now we have 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 and you'll see him bleed!

CROWD:
Now we have him!
Now we've got him!
Now we have him!
Now we've got him!
Now we have him!
Now we've got him!
Now we have him!
Now we've got him!

Take him to Pilate!
Take him to Pilate!
Take him to Pilate!
Take him to Pilate!
