Verse 1: 
  E5                 
Jesus was a Capricorn 
    A5                 E5 
He ate organic foods 

He believed in love and peace 
    F#5                    B5  
And never wore no shoes 

Verse 2: 
  E5 
Long hair beard and sandles 
      A5                        E5 
And a funky bunch of friends 

Rekcon we'd just nail him up 
  B5                  E5 
If he came down again 

Chorus: 
     A5                                     E5                          
'Cause everybody's got to have somebody to look down on 
     B5                               A5          E5 
Who they can feel better than anytime they please 
     A5                                     E5                                                    
Someone doin' somethin' dirty decent folks can frown on 
     B5                              A5                  E5 
If you can't find nobody else then help yourself to me 

Verse 3: 
 E5                         
Egg Heads cussin' Red necks cussin 
   A5                   E5         
Hippies for their hair 

Others laugh at straights who laugh at 
 F#5                       B5 
Freaks who laugh at squares 

Verse 4: 
 E5 
Some folks hate the Whites 
     A5                                  E5 
Who hate the Blacks who hate the Klan 
  
Most of us hate anything that 
 B5                E5 
We don't understand 

Chorus
