Poor Jerusalem (From "Jesus Christ Superstar" Soundtrack)

Neither you Simon, nor the fifty thousand

Nor the Romans, nor the Jews, nor Judas, nor the Twelve,

Nor the Priests, nor the Scribes

Nor doomed Jerusalem itself,

Understand what power is

Understand what glory is

Understand at all... understand at all.

If you knew all that I knew, my poor Jerusalem

You'd see the truth, but you close your eyes,

But you close your eyes

While you live your troubles are many, poor Jerusalem

To conquer death you only have to die

You only have to die.
