Everything's Alright Lyrics
Artist: Jesus Christ Superstar
Album: Jesus Christ Superstar Soundtrack
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 all right
Yes everything's all right 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 all right
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
Apostles' Women
Everything's all right
Yes everything's all right yes
Judas
Woman your fine ointment
Brand new and expensive
Should 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
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
Women
Everything's all right
Yes everything's all right 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've got!
Think while you still have me
Move while you still see me
You'll be lost
You'll be so sorry
When I'm gone
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 head and feet
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
And relax
Think of nothing tonight
Apostles' Women
Close your eyes
Alose your eyes
And relax
Think of nothing
Everything's all right
Yes everything's all right yes

sucks sucks
great lullaby
wat do u mean sucks?! this is from one of the best musicals of all time.
Agreed. This musical reaches people that church cannot touch. This musican is a non-traditional way to teach about Christ.
This is the best musical ever.
well it is a great musical and has an exellent story line but i is incredably historicaly incorrent
i love Jesus Christ Superstar...it's an amazing musical. My primary school, in scotland, did a production of it. I was only a backing singer but my brother was Jesus. It has the most beautiful songs in it.
luvv it! great song.
Then again... the Bible is all fiction. It's no more the truth than the Harry Potter books. To say that this musical is HISTORICALLY inaccurate is quite idiotic, since the Bible contains nothing more than a lot of ethic guidelines and stories with only a few grains of truth behind them.
The Bible is most certainly true and historically accurate as shown by archeological finds both recent and in times past. Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior!
I just saw the show last night! It was great and the music was awesome!! I think "Everything's alright" is my favorite. As a Christian who has studied the bible (to no great extent), I appreciate the alternate view to Jesus's final days. Thats it..oh and Sandy, lighten up a bit on true and accurate. We all know that JC is the lord and savior. It's closed-minded, absolute statements like yours that turn people off to religion. Is that what Jesus would have said?? Or would he have used just a tad more tact?
I like this song. I have this movie on DVD. my mom is watching it right now :P
Listen to foxy shazam's version of this, I love this song
I'm no christian but absolutely love this musical. One of the BEST ever
It is a super great musical! =) it has a unique style of spreading the gospel, very interesting
Not to mention that this song is written in 5...how cool is that!
I LOVE THAT SONG!!!!But Les miz. is still better in my opinion.
It's a great song
i love this song
Is there a God and does she work for me? I was skeptic until I needed her. When I needed her she was there and I am better for it. For me, God is personal. God overshadows religion and bibles. They are just her inspired creation.
I LOVE IT!
This song is so beautiful, and i love the musical :)
The bible is fact. Mybe if we all follow Gods word. This would be a better place to live. Sometimes we all fall short and forget Gods word. Its time to catch up. And thank god for what his son has done for us all.
I love this musical and song because it was able to pull out the religous side of me. Because my family are sure not christan but yet I am. So it kind of helps!
This musical, is the bast ever. The guy that played Judus(Carl) great voice.
amazing song.
isn't head not hair.
I watched this last night with my daughter; it'd been about 30 years since I'd seen or heard it. Great musical! I was surprised that I still knew most of the songs! I went to a missionary school and still appreciate the music in JCS for what it is. How can a "historically accurate" musical / rock opera come from the gospels when the gospels were written decades after the life of Jesus and don't agree with each other in many places as it is? And we accept "as gospel" the Bible put together more than 300 years after the death of Jesus. Many books were determined not to be divinely inspired, so they were left out. Nonetheless, some of those present great insight into the life of Jesus! So I love the music in JCS, and accept it as an interpretation of the various stories of the life of Jesus. It makes us think twice about the evil of Judas and the willingness of Jesus to die.
awesome! this is cool.
my dream role is mary mag. ever since i was little. this is one of my faveorite songs of all time!! [= goodness. *sigh
Today on Palm Sunday I think back to how much this musical touched me! My dream is to be on Broadway!
love it! such a great song.
I love this song! when i was little, my dad used to sing this to me.
I love this musical! and guess what! I am doing it for the school production and this song has been stuck in my head for days!
This was a nice song.
as someone pointed out, the defining characteristic of this song is the fact it is in 5. why it is so catchy i think.
like...awesome. I love this musical. Especially "I don't know how to love him." Brilliant. *****
sjdfhksdjh
I LOVE THIS SONG!
What a gorgeous song. love the music.
Saw JCS for 1st time since 1970's. Local H.S. production. Was great. As one stated it is about Judas struggle with the true identity of Jesus. Just one person's "take." We all have our own "take." But mainstream Christianity could learn from this on how to approach people.
Go Judas! If only our politicians were thinking like this guy :) Kinda agree with Jesus on "there will always be poor" but his answer to Judas can hardly be qualified as an argument.
:P
As a child i was told all the stories. Listened to studies and had my own relationship with Jesus Christ. But not intill i saw this film did i understand clearly the story of the crusifiction.
Great lullaby.
Ha, I've been playing and studying music most of my life and for some reason I didn't even clock the song is in 5! One of the most naturally grooving songs in 5 I've ever heard
historically incorrect? Its supposed to be, there is a hippie van driving around, I dont think Jesus actually had one, and I also think the director has realised that.
This is amazing musical because it manages to appeal to atheists and christians and agnostics! I loved it the first time I saw it.
this is the best bibical song ever !!!!!!!!!
I absolutely love this musical, definately a great modernisation of the tale of Jesus Christ!!!!!!!
Matt, you are right on; it's a topical lyric set into fab 5-beat measures. Love it, and I'm not religious.
Jesus' role in this song is extremely important from a Christian perspective, as it brings about a more rational Jesus who suits modern day times. 'There will be poor, pathetically struggling, look at the good things you've got!' The tenacious Jesus we all grew up with has changed to a wiser, more focused Son of Man. In a way, he is saying we must focus more on the goodness of God, and not the wickedness of Satan. God bless!
Would you guys just shut up about religion, please? I don't actually have anything against what you think, but there is absolutely no need whatsoever to rub your retarded, senseless beliefs in others' faces!
Could you guys please stop ranting on about your senseless beliefs? Sure, I haven't got a say in what you think is true or not, and I cannot wipe out these black thoughts in your head, but at least stop planting them in other peoples' ears and rubbing it in their faces? It's annoying to have all these stupid comments flying about and clogging the page when all I want are some goddamn lyrics!!!! And maybe some piano chords. Anyway, that should point out that I'm not religious in the least.
My music Teacher was a total fag and douche and used to play this song to us during class,i secretly loved this song from the moment he played it and i still love it to this day.
This song is just like "Chillax Jesus, I know you're going to die soon but IT'S OKAY, DON'T WORRY." Clearly, Jesus is clinically depressed that isn't going to help him.
Although I was raised as a Christian, I am not deeply religious...but every Good Friday I just have to watch the film Jesus Christ Superstar. I love every bit of it and it makes me feel so good...makes me feel closer to Jesus.
Wow...a forumn covering 4 years about a song written over 30 years ago. This is a great song that I will never forget. Whatever ones interpratation of the movie, Mary M., or Judas.....there is no question a good guy name Jesus lived a long time ago. Now I am going to read the lyrics to Pilot's Dream.
Get yourselves down to Australia, all you lovers of JCS... we're about to revive it, with some excellent actors and singers. I hated it 30 years ago, but have booked my tickets for this round. And it was this song which brought it all back and motivated me to go and see it.
I think this is one of the most soothing songs no matter what stress you have, atheist or not.
I love you Jesus Christ thank you for your life and well done
anybody who thinks this sucks is displaying ignorance beyond endurance and should be thrown to the lions
I have had a read in the comments section and have found that (with very few exceptions) most of the judgmental comments come from those who are most religious. Maybe consider the words of your beloved God and Christ and try not to seek conflict. You have chosen to believe in your faith, so allow us to do the same without judgment. For most of us that are atheist or agnostic (again, with exception) respect your decisions and the paths you have chosen. And trust me, we don't want to be saved. I sing this song as a lullaby to my one year old daughter and despite the fact that I don't believe in Christ, this song truly moves me, as does the story of Christs struggles in the Bible. Can we not just appreciate a beautiful song without having to endure all of this fighting?!
I LOVE THIS!1!1!1!1!!1!11!!
You dickheads that believe that shit. IF jesus really was alive, he was a simple magician, nothing more. No son of God or God himself, no trinity!
