We've been sitting on the fence for far too long.
ANNAS
Fm
Why let him upset us?
Db
Caiaphas, let him be.
Ebm Dm
All those imbeciles will see,
E
He really doesn't matter.
CAIAPHAS
Fm
Jesus is important,
Db
We've let him go his way before.
Ebm Dm
And while he starts a major war,
E
We theorize and chatter.
ANNAS
B°7
He's just another scripture thumping hack from Galilee.
CAIAPHAS
B°7
The difference is they call him King,
The difference frightens me!
Am
What about the Romans?
F
When they see King Jesus crowned,
Gm F#m
Do you think they'll stand around,
Ab
Cheering, and applauding?
Am
What about our people?
F
If they see we've lost our nerve,
Gm F#m
Don't you think that they deserve,
Ab
Something more rewarding.
ANNAS
Am
They've got what they want,
Ebm
They think so, anyway.
Gm
If he's what they want,
Ebm
Why take their toy away?
D7
He's a craze!
CAIAPHAS
Am
Put yourself in my place,
F
I can hardly step aside.
Gm F#m
Can not let my hands be tied.
Ab
I am law and order.
Am
What about our priesthood?
F
Don't you see that we could fall?
Gm F#m
If we are to last at all,
Ab
We can not be divided.
ANNAS
Am
Then say so to the council,
F
But don't rely on subtlety.
Gm F#m
Frighten them, or they won't see.
CAIAPHAS
Ab
Then we are decided?
