APOSTLES      Look at all my trials and tribulations   Sinking in a gentle pool of wine   Don't disturb me now I can see the answers   Till this evening is this morning life is fine      Always hoped that I'd be an apostle   Knew that I would make it if I tried   Then when we retire we can write the gospels   So they'll still talk about us when we've died      JESUS      The end . . .   Is just a little harder when brought about by friends   For all you care this wine could be my blood   For all you care this bread could be my body   The end!      This is my blood you drink   This is my body you eat   If you would remember me when you eat and drink.      I must be mad thinking I'll be remembered - yes   I must be out of my head!   Look at your blank faces! My name will mean nothing   Ten minutes after I'm dead!   One of you denies me   One of you betrays me      APOSTLES      Not I! Who would? Impossible!      JESUS      Peter will deny me in just a few hours   Three times will deny me - and that's not all I see   One of you here dining, one of my twelve chosen   Will leave to betray me       JUDAS   Cut out the dramatics! You know very well who      JESUS   Why don't you go do it?      JUDAS   You want me to do it!      JESUS   Hurry they are waiting      JUDAS   If you knew why I do it . . .      JESUS   I don't care why you do it!      JUDAS   To think I admired you   For now I despise you      JESUS   You liar - you Judas      JUDAS   You wanted me to do it!   What if I just stayed here   And ruined your ambition?   Christ you deserve it!      JESUS   Hurry you fool, hurry and go,   Save me your speeches   I don't want to know - Go! Go!      APOSTLES      Look at all my trials and tribulations   Sinking in a gentle pool of wine   What's that in the bread it's gone to my head   Till this morning is this evening life is fine      Always hoped that I'd be an apostle   Knew that I would make it if I tried   Then when we retire we can write the gospels   So they'll all talk about us when we've died      JUDAS      You sad pathetic man - see where you've brought us to   Our ideals die around us and all because of you   But the saddest cut of all -   Someone has to turn you in   Like a common criminal, like a wounded animal   A jaded mandarin   A jaded mandarin   Like a jaded, faded, faded, jaded, jaded mandarin      JESUS   Get out! They're waiting! Get out! They're waiting!   Oh! They're waiting for you!      JUDAS   Everytime 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 -   Ah --- ah      APOSTLES   Look at all my trials and tribulations   Sinking in a gentle pool of wine   What's that in the bread it's gone to my head   Till this evening is this morning life is fine      Always hoped that I'd be an apostle   Knew that I would make it if I tried If I tried   Then when we retire we can write the gospels   So they'll still talk about us when we've died      JESUS   Will no-one stay awake with me?   Peter? John? James?   Will none of you wait with me?   Peter? John? James?
