Jesus Christ Superstar (2005 Amstetten) - Superstar (Drew Sarich)
So… I'm working on a funny (or hopefully entertaining) Jesus Christ Superstar video*, and for that I've been trying to transcribe the unique lyrics of this performance, but I'm struggling with it. So, if anyone has the lyrics or would like to help, it would've be greatly appreciated. Under the Keep reading I have the transcription of the lyrics as I heard it , where I marked the parts I'm unsure about. So if you feel like it, please feel free to comment or DM about it. You'll help will be appreciated so-so much and, hopefully, commemorated if/when I finish the video. Thanks in advance! 💖🥰
*See how ✨incredibly✨ funny I've had been about JCS in the past.
I have a Google Document version of it too, if that's easier for any kind helper to comment on!
EDIT: A lovely anon helped tweaking the lyrics, we are only missing a few words now!

Lyrics I'm not sure about
Parts I don't understand/hear/comprehend

Ev'ry time I look at you
I don't understand
Why you let the things you did
Get so out of hand
You'd've managed better
If you'd had it planned
Why'd you choose such a backward time
And such a strange land?
If you'd come today
You would 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
(Only wanna know) Only wanna know
(Only wanna know, now) Only wanna know
(Only wanna know) I only wanna know
(Only wanna know, now)

Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Who are you? What have you…
Jesus Christ

Who are you? What have you sacrificed?

Do you think you're what they say you are?
Jesus Christ
Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Hold that pose, baby.
Tell me what you think
About your friends at the top
Who d'ya think beside yourself
Was a pick of the crop?
Now, Buddha was he where it's at?
Is he where you are?
Could Muhammad move a mountain
Or was that just PR?
Did you mean to die like that?
Was that a mistake or
Did you mean your messy death
To 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)
I only (Only wanna know)
Want to know (Only wanna know, now)
What you know (Only wanna know)
I only wanna know (Only wanna know, now)
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
So, what's the buzz, baby?
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Tell me…
Jesus Christ
…what's-a happening?
Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Whooooo!
Jesus Christ
Superstar
Is your big day… coming soon?
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Jesus Christ
Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Well, say you love me now, Jesus. (Lovely anon suggested it's: "Well, do you love me now, Jesus?)
I only wanna know.
So, tell me.
Tell me, don't get me wrong.
I only wanna know.

___________, Christ.
Who are you,
What have you… sacrificed?
Hey-hey-hey-hey, yeah! Yeah!
Open your mouth, boy!
And tell me,
Don't get me wrong,
I only wanna know,
Jesus-Jesus, Jesus Christ
Who are you,
What have you… sacrificed?
I'm asking you nicely!
Are you,
Are you what they say you are?
[I know the angels/background singers sing in the last part of the song too, but I didn't bother with that, seemed redundant. If you got this far I already thank you, pls help if you can, feel free to correct any part. Thank you, kudos!]
