Superstar Lyrics

[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
Why'd you choose such a backward time 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

[CHOIR]
Don't you get me wrong

[JUDAS]
Don't you get me wrong

[CHOIR]
Don't you get me wrong

[JUDAS]
Don't you get me wrong

[CHOIR]
Don't you get me wrong

[JUDAS]
Don't you get me wrong
[CHOIR]
Don't you get me wrong

[JUDAS]
Don't you get me wrong

[CHOIR]
I only wanna know

[JUDAS]
I only wanna know

[CHOIR]
I only wanna know

[JUDAS]
I only wanna know

[CHOIR]
I only wanna know

[JUDAS]
I only wanna know

[CHOIR]
I only wanna know
[JUDAS]
I only wanna know

[CHOIR]
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?

[JUDAS]
Tell me what you think about your friends at the top
Who'd you think, besides yourself, was the pick of the crop?
Buddha, was he where it's at? Is he where you are?
Could Muhammad 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?

[CHOIR]
Don't you get me wrong

[JUDAS]
Don't you get me wrong
[CHOIR]
Don't you get me wrong

[JUDAS]
Don't you get me wrong

[CHOIR]
Don't you get me wrong

[JUDAS]
Don't you get me wrong

[CHOIR]
Don't you get me wrong

[JUDAS]
Don't you get me wrong

[CHOIR]
I only wanna know

[JUDAS]
I only wanna know

[CHOIR]
I only wanna know

[JUDAS]
I only wanna know

[CHOIR]
I only wanna know

[JUDAS]
I only wanna know

[CHOIR]
I only wanna know

[JUDAS]
I only wanna know

[CHOIR]
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?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Every musical story has its “punchline” piece, and this one has it all. Tim Rice deviates from the story and asks the questions that are on his (and almost anybody else’s) mind about Jesus and his message.
Judas poses all those questions to Jesus, chronologically before his crucifixion, but these are questions that have not been fully answered for over 2000 years.
