John Legend
King Herod’s Song
[HEROD, spoken]
Jesus, I am overjoyed to meet you face to face. You've been getting quite a name all around this place. Healing cripples, raising the dead. And now, I understand you're God. Wow. At least, that's what you said...

(sung)
So, you are the Christ, you're the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're divine, change my water into wine
That's all you need do, and I'll know it's all true
C'mon, king of the Jews!

Jesus, you just won't believe the hit you've made round here
You're all we talk about, you're the wonder of the year!
Oh, what a pity if it is all a lie
Still, I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try

So, you are the Christ, the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're no fool, walk across my swimming pool
Do that for me, then I'll let you go free
C'mon, you, king of the Jews!

(spoken)
Hello, Jerusalem
I am your king!

(sung)
I only ask what I'd ask of any superstar
What is it that you have got that puts you where you are?
Oh, I am waiting, yeah, I'm a captive fan
I'm dying to be shown that you're not just any man
So, if you are the Christ, the great Jesus Christ
Feed my household with this bread; you can do it on your head!
Or something gone wrong? Why do you take so long?
C'mon, you, king of the Jews!

Hey! Aren't you scared of me Christ? Mr. Wonderful Christ!
You're a joke, you're not the Lord
You are nothing but a fraud!
Take him away, he's got nothing to say!
Get out, you, king of the
Get out, you, king of the
Get out, you, king of the Jews!
(spoken)
Get out of my life!
