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'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

No! Who would?! Impossible!

JESUS

Peter will deny my 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 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 want 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!

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 are waiting for you!

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 had it planned
Oh

APOSTLES

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

Will no one stay awake with me?
Peter, John, James?
Will none of you wait with me?
Peter, John, James?
