Then We Are Decided

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Then We Are Decided" is the fifth song from the film Jesus Christ Superstar. It was written specifically for the film and is usually not included in stage plays. The song is between Caiaphas and Annas and Caiaphas is contemplating whether to do something about Jesus, and with strong persistence from Annas, Caiaphas decides to have Jesus killed, which is explained in "This Jesus Must Die".

In the song, it is not Annas that persists that they do something about Jesus, but Caiaphas. Annas through the whole song is saying they should ignore Jesus, "Why let him upset us, Caiaphas, let him be, all those imbeciles will see, he really doesn't matter." By the end of the song Caiaphas has convinced Annas, not the other way around.
