Everything's alright.
MARY MAGDALENE
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh, don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try we'll get by so forget all about us tonight
APOSTLES' WOMEN
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes
MARY MAGDALENE
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh, then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your heap and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax think of nothing tonight
APOSTLES' WOMEN
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes
JUDAS
Woman, your fine ointment – brand new and expensive
Could have been saved for the poor
Why has it been wasted? We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more
People who are hungry, people who are starving
Matter more than your feet and hair
MARY MAGDALENE
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh, don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
If we try we'll get by so forget all about us tonight
APOSTLES' WOMEN
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes
JESUS
Surely, you're not saying we have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always, pathetically struggling -
Look at the good things you're got
Think! While you still have me
More! While you still see me
You'll be lost and you'll be so sorry when I'm gone
MARY MAGDALENE
Sleep and I shall soothe you, clam you, and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead, oh, then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax think of nothing tonight
Close your eyes, close your eyes and relax
ALL
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes
This Jesus must die.
Jerusalem, Sunday
PRIEST 1
Good Caiaphas the council waits for you
The Pharisees and priests are here for you
CAIAPHAS
Ah gentlemen – you know why we are here
We've not much time and quite a problem here

Listen to that howling mob of blockheads in the street!
A trick or two with lepers and the whole town's on its feet

He is dangerous
MOB (outside)
Jesus Christ Superstar -
Tell us that you're who they say you are

PRIEST 2
Look Caiaphas – they're right outside our yard
PRIEST 3
Quick Caiaphas – go call the Roman guard
CAIAPHAS
No wait – we need a more permanent solution
to our problem ...
ANNAS
What then to do about Jesus of Nazareth
Miracle wonderman – hero of fools?
PRIEST 3
No riots, no army, no fighting, no slogans
CAIAPHAS
One thing I'll say for him – Jesus is cool
ANNAS
We dare not leave him to his own devices
His half-witted fans will get out of control
PRIEST 3
But how can we stop him? His glamour increases
By leaps every minute – he's top of the poll
CAIAPHAS
I see bad things arising –
The crowd crown him king,
Which the Romans would ban
I see blood and destruction,
Our elimination, because of one man
Blood and destruction, because of one man
ALL
Because, because, because of one man
CAIAPHAS
Our elimination, because of one man
ALL
Because, because, because of one, 'cause of one, 'cause of one man
PRIEST 3
What then to do about this Jesusmania?
ANNAS
How do we deal with the carpenter king?
PRIEST 3
Where do we start with a man who is bigger
Then John was when John did his Baptism thing?
CAIAPHAS
Fools! You have no perception!
The stakes we are gambling are frighteningly high!
We must crush him completely -
So like John before him, this Jesus must die
For the sake of the nation this Jesus must die
ALL
Must die, must die, this Jesus must die
CAIAPHAS
So like John before him, this Jesus must die
ALL
Must die, must die, this Jesus must, Jesus must, Jesus must die!
