Superstar Lyrics

Artist: Jesus Christ Superstar
Album: Jesus Christ Superstar Soundtrack

Voice of Judas
Every time 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'd had it planned
Now why'd you choose such a backward time
And such a strange land?

If you'd come today
You could have reached the whole nation
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication
Don't you get me wrong
Don't you get me wrong
Don't you get me wrong, now
Don't you get me wrong
Don't you get me wrong
Don't you get me wrong
Don't you get me wrong, now
Don't you get me wrong

Only want to know
Only want to know
Only want to know, now
Only want to know
Only want to know
Only want to know
Only want to know, now
Only want to know

Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ
Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Jesus Christ
Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?

Tell me what you think
About your friends at the top
Now who d'you think besides yourself
Was the pick of the crop?
Buddah was he where it's at?
Is he where you are?
Could Muhammmed move a mountain
Or was that just PR?
Did you mean to die like that?
Was that a mistake or
Did you know your messy death
Would be a record breaker?

Don't you get me wrong Don't you get me wrong
Don't you get me wrong, now Don't you get me wrong
Don't you get me wrong Don't you get me wrong
Don't you get me wrong, now Don't you get me wrong

Only want to know Only want to know
Only want to know, now Only want to know
Only want to know Only want to know
Only want to know, now I only want to know

Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ
Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Jesus Christ
Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?

Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ
Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Jesus Christ
Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?

Comments/Interpretations
by molly morris and jodie garside on 5/11/2008 3:53am love your song it is great to sing its realy calming sorry to say we are nine year olds
by Lulu on 5/13/2008 11:04am luvvv the song!!!
by rosene on 5/16/2008 12:09pm clearly, judas had so many doubts about Jesus. his faith was not strong. loved the song! ALW, i believe you are a genius!!!
by RB on 5/20/2008 10:30pm This song degrades the Deity of Jesus Christ. Whoever made up the lyrics of the song doesn't know what he's talking about. I don't care if it was Andrew Lloyd Webber. He doesn't know what he's talking about. "Did you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake or" God does not make any mistakes. Don't you judge His reasoning because he knows more than everything our little brains are ever capable of.
by Annabel Ziegeler on 5/21/2008 5:42pm I loved the movie so i decided to come here to get the lyrics. This website is so efficent i would recommend it to anyone.
by elaine on 5/22/2008 2:37pm this song talks like you could ever imagine
by Cynthia on 5/24/2008 12:59pm I love JCS! This song rocks! The messages and the points made in it are amazing!
by do on 6/7/2008 3:46am RB's a fag
by Tyra Banks on 6/10/2008 1:40am I love this song! Me and Ms J love to listen to this song a a lot but of course not during panel!
by JVF on 6/12/2008 8:56pm The song reaches in to my soul and moves me;..love it and I imagine Jesus just smiling as He looks down and see's us rejoice in Him:)
by RG on 6/13/2008 10:30pm I am in the play right now and this is probally the best song in the hole thing:)
by BJM on 6/15/2008 7:10pm Hi. I just saw the play today, and I love this song so much. I am 11 years old turning 12 and I'm an altar server for 3 years. I go to Catholic school and i know a lot about the faith.
by Vince on 6/17/2008 9:00am ok this is to RB, no offense, but it's just a movie. It was meant for Judas to not understand. He was questioning Jesus, when only God knows. That was the whole stinking point of the movie.
by RB is DUMB (Comment above) on 6/18/2008 5:35am Get your FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU GO PICKING A FIGHT, AND DON'T TRY TO FORCE ME TO BELIEVE BY STATING HE IS REAL! Thw whole piont is the Judas does not understand, understand? (If ppl as dumb as RB will get into heaven, it would be enough to make me change religions, if i had one..)
by Zeke on 6/18/2008 12:48pm RB, do you even know the meaning if deity? As Vince said, it's just a movie.
by Greg, Orange Australia on 6/20/2008 12:39am Superstar seems to be an agnostic hymn about Jesus the man, that ALW has put in the mouth of Judas. Its just a piece of artistic work, not spiritual truth. But it does sum up the modern doubts of unbelievers. Its the challenge of evangelists to address these modern doubts in their biblical teachings and messages. I quite like the song as defines the current challenge, and expresses the hope that agnostics want know more about Jesus, the man, the high priest and God incarnate.
by RG on 6/20/2008 11:55pm this is also to RB. Like vince said it's just a movie!!!! If u just let go a little bit of the reilgon then u would get J.C Super star because it is more of a modren twist aboout there relashionship of jesus and judas,and the more modren twist.because j.c super star is not that reliogos.
by Gussie on 6/27/2008 9:11pm My girfriend would go to her house after school (St Anns) and listen to this record over and over.The 70's ROCK I wish kids these days had it as good as all of us that are 50yrs old and up.
by Aimee on 7/10/2008 12:55pm that song is brilliant i am now a christian
by Josh on 7/15/2008 3:17pm This song is alright if once you know that it was told in Judas' point of view. When I first heard it I thought it was just a blastpheming song about how Jesus was just some man. I found the lyrics offensive when I first heard it and didn't know anything about the song. I think this song is the reason that Carly Smithson was voted off of American Idol.
by Voice of Reason on 7/22/2008 9:35pm Great song....substitute Barack Hussein Obama's name for Jesus Christ and you'll have the liberal news media's national Obama Superstar song. Vote republican!!!!!!!!!!!
by FRED on 9/2/2008 2:07pm This song is about about JESUS, who is a paedophile. JESUS rapes little boys and wanks over dead disabled children whilst wearing a NAZI uniform. Therefore, JESUS is a fucking cunt...
by ALLIE on 10/4/2008 6:22pm Fred, go and take a long walk off a short pier for those offensive, pathetic comments. Wonderful song, very moving to hear something from Judas' perspective. Tim Rice's lyrics are brilliant and it is the best song on the soundtrack. No mean feat, considering all the tracks are outstanding.
