Lyrics

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
Now why'd you choose such a backward time and such a strange land?
If you'd come today, you could have reached a whole nation
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication
(Don't you get me wrong) Don't you get me wrong
(Don't you get me wrong now) Don't you get me wrong
(Don't you get me wrong) Don't you get me wrong
(Don't you get me wrong now) Don't you get me wrong
(I only wanna know) I only wanna know
(I only wanna know now) I only wanna know
(I only wanna know) I only wanna know
(I only wanna know now) I only wanna know
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?
[Instrumental]
Tell me what you think about your friends at the top
Now 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 Mohamed 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?
(Don't you get me wrong) Don't you get me wrong
(Don't you get me wrong now) Don't you get me wrong
(Don't you get me wrong) Don't you get me wrong
(Don't you get me wrong now) Don't you get me wrong
(I only wanna know) I only wanna know
(I only wanna know now) I only wanna know
(I only wanna know) I only wanna know
(I only wanna know now) I only wanna know
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 (Jesus)
Do you think you're what they say you are? (I only wanna know, tell me, tell me)
Jesus Christ, Superstar (Tell me, tell me, don't you get me wrong)
Do you think you're what they say you are? (I only wanna know)
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ (Jesus, I only wanna know)
Who are you? What have you sacrificed? (Tell me, tell me)
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ (Tell me, tell me, don't you get me wrong)
Who are you? What have you sacrificed? (I only wanna know, c'mon Jesus)
Jesus Christ, Superstar (Jesus)
Do you think you're what they say you are? (I only wanna know, tell me, tell me)
Jesus Christ, Superstar (Tell me, tell me)
Do you think you're what they say you are? (Don't you get me wrong, I only wanna know)
