Could you, please explain the meaning of the phrase multitude drools?
I'm not sure how to understand the phrase "the multitude drools" from Jesus Christ Superstar musical.
I can't decide if it means a lot of talking about it (drooling or spitting, which goes together with passionate speech), or maybe indicates high likeability (drooling, as one would for tasty food), or maybe something completely different.
The context:
No riots, no army,
no fighting, no slogans
Infantile sermons, the multitude drools
Thank you
