CAIAPHAS:
We've been sitting on thefence fo far too long
ANNAS:
Why let him upset us?
Caiaphas-let him be
All those imbeciles will see
He really doesn't matter
CHAIAPHAS:
Jesus is important
We've let him go his way before
And while he starts a major war
We theorize and chatter
ANNAS:
He's just another scripture-thumping hack from Galilee
CAIAPHAS:
The difference is they call him King- the difference frihtens me
What about the Romans
When they see King Jesus crowned?
Do y think they'll stand around
Cheering and applaudng?
What about our people
If they see we've lost our nerve?
Don't you think that they deserve
Something more rewarding?
ANNAS:
They've got waht they want-they think so anyway
If he's what they want why take their toy away?
He's a craze
CAIAPHAS:
Put yourself in my plase
I can hardly step aside
Cannot let my hands be tied
I am law and order
What about our priesthood?
Don't you see that we could fall?
If we are to last at all
We cannot be divided
ANNAS:
Then say so to the council
But don't realy on subtlety
Frighten them or they won't see
CAIAPHAS:
Then we are decided?
ANNAS:
Then we are decided.
