JESUS Peter will deny my in Just a few hours. Three times will deny me, And that's not all I see. One of you here dining, One of my twelve chosen Will leave to betray me.JUDAS Cut out the dramatics! You know very well who...JESUS Why don't you go do it?JUDAS You want me to do it!JESUS Hurry, they are waiting...JUDAS If you knew why I do it...JESUSI don't care why you do it!JUDAS To think I admired you. For now I despise you.JESUS You liar. You Judas...JUDAS You want me to do it! What if I just stayed here And runied your ambition. Christ you deserve it.JESUS Hurry, you fool. Hurry and go. Save me your speeches, I don't want to know. Go!APOSTLES Look at all my trials and tribulations Sinking in a gentle pool of wine. What's that in the bread? It's gone to my head,' Till this morning is this evening, life is fine. Always hoped that I'd be an apostle. Knew that I would make it if I tried. Then when we retire, we can write the Gospels, So they'll all talk about us when we've died.JUDAS You sad, pathetic man, see where you've brought us to, Our ideals die around us and it's all because of you. And now the sadest cut of all: Someone has to turn you in. Like a common criminal, like a wounded animal.A jaded mandarin,A jaded mandarin, As a jaded, jaded, faded, jaded, jaded mandarin.JESUS Get out they're waiting! Get out, they are waiting! Oh, they're waiting for you!JUDAS Everytime I look at you I don't understand Why you let the things you did get so out of hand. You'd have managed better if you had it planned...APOSTLES Look at all my trials and tribulations Sinking in a gentle pool of wine. Don't disturb me now. I can see the answers, Till this evening is this morning, life is fine. Always hoped that I'd be an apostle. Knew that I would make it if I tried. Then when we retire, we can write the Gospels, So they'll all talk about us when we've died.JESUS Will no one stay awake with me? Peter, John, James? Will none of you wait with me? Peter, John, James?
