Verse 1: 
  E                 
Jesus was a Capricorn 
    A                 E 
He ate organic foods 

He believed in love and peace 
    F#                    B  
And never wore no shoes 

Verse 2: 
  E 
Long hair beard and sandles 
      A                        E 
And a funky bunch of friends 

Rekcon we'd just nail him up 
  B                  E 
If he came down again 

Chorus: 
     A                                     E                          
'Cause everybody's got to have somebody to look down on 
     B                               A          E 
Who they can feel better than anytime they please 
     A                                     E                                                    
Someone doin' somethin' dirty decent folks can frown on 
     B                              A                  E 
If you can't find nobody else then help yourself to me 

Verse 3: 
 E                         
Egg Heads cussin' Red necks cussin 
   A                   E         
Hippies for their hair 

Others laugh at straights who laugh at 
 F#                       B 
Freaks who laugh at squares 

Verse 4: 
 E 
Some folks hate the Whites 
     A                                  E 
Who hate the Blacks who hate the Klan 
  
Most of us hate anything that 
 B                E 
We don't understand
