Original Television Cast of Jesus Christ Superstar
The Arrest
[PETER]
What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening
What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening
Tell me what's happening

[APOSTLES]
What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening
What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening
What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening
What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-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 done
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?
How do you view your coming trial?
Have your men proved at all worth while?
Did you pick an efficient team?
Is that it for the Jewish dream?
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 gonna do
You know how your supporters feel
You'll escape in the final reel
Tell me, Christ, how you feel tonight
Do you plan to put up the 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'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!
Now we have him! Now we've got him, now!

[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!
