Souperstar

From Jesus Christ Souperstar

Lyrics by: Tim Rice
Music by: Andstew Lloyd Webber

Every time I look at you I don't understand
Why you let that cooking show get so out of hand
You'd have managed better if you had it planned
Now why'd you choose such an akward time-slot and such a strange land?
If you'd come today you would have reached a whole nation
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication

Don't you get me wrong
I only wanna know

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

Tell me what you think about those high friends you've got
Now who d'you think besides yourself's the best of the pot?
Stewddah, was he where it's at-- Is he where you are?
Could Mohammed move a soupbowl 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 rating-maker?

Don't you get me wrong
I only wanna know

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