Heaven on Their Minds Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Jesus Christ Superstar

Jesus Christ Superstar (Original Broadway Cast)

1971

[JUDAS]
My mind is clearer now
At last, all too well
I can see where we all soon will be
If you strip away
The myth from the man
You will see where we all soon will be
Jesus
You've started to believe
The things they say of you
You really do believe
This talk of God is true
And all the good you've done
Will soon get swept away
You've begun to matter more
Than the things you say
Listen, Jesus, I don't like what I see
All I ask is that you listen to me
And remеmber
I've been your right hand man all along
You have sеt them all on fire
They think they've found the new Messiah
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong
I remember when this whole thing began
No talk of God then, we called you a man
And believe me
My admiration for you hasn't died
But every word you say today
Gets twisted 'round some other way
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied
Nazareth, your famous son
Should have stayed a great unknown
Like his father carving wood
He'd have made good
Tables, chairs, and oaken chests
Would have suited Jesus best
He'd have caused nobody harm, no one alarm
Listen, Jesus, do you care for your race?
Can't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied!
Have you forgotten how put down we are?
I am frightened by the crowds
For we are getting much too loud
And they'll crush us if we go too far
If we go too far
Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give
Please remember that I want us to live
But it's so sad to see
Our chances weakening with every hour
All your followers are blind
Too much heaven on their minds
It was beautiful, but now it's sour
Yes, it's all - it's gone sour
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give
Please remember that I want us to live
He won't listen to me
C'mon, c'mon
He won't listen to me
Oh no no no
