Song lyrics

[Thursday night, The Last Supper]

[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're 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 blanc faces!
My name will mean nothing
Ten minutes after I'm dead!
One of you denies me
One of you betrays me -

[Apostles:]
How can he say that?
Betray you? - Who? - Not me!...

[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,
Оne 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
Well now I despise you

[Jesus:]
You liar - you [Judas:]

[Judas:]
You wanted me to do it!
What if I just stayed here
And ruines your ambition?
Christ, you deserve it!

[Jesus:]
Hurry you fool, hurry and go
Save me your speaches,
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 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're died

[Judas:]
You sad pathetic man -
See where you've brought us to
Our ideals die around
Us all because of you
But now the saddest out 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

[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're died

[Jesus:]
Will no one stay awake with me?
Peter? John? James?
Will none of you wait with me?
Peter? John? James?
