Píseň: Jesus Was A Capricorn

Interpret:
Kris Kristofferson
Album:
Jesus Was A Capricorn
Jesus was a Capricorn
 He ate organic food
 He believed in love and peace
 And never wore no shoes


 Long hair, beard and sandles
 And a funky bunch of friends
 Reckon we'd just nail him up
 If he came down again


 'Cause everybody's gotta have somebody to look down on
 Prove they can be better than at any time they choose
 Someone doin' somethin' dirty decent folks can frown on
 If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me


 Eggheads fussin' rednecks cussin'
 Hippies for their hair
 Others laugh at straights who laugh at
 Freaks who laugh at squares


 Some folks hate the Whites
 Who hate the Blacks who hate the Klan
 Most of us hate anything that
 We don't understand


 'Cause everybody's gotta have somebody to look down on
 Prove they can be better than at any time they choose
 Someone doin' somethin' dirty decent folks can frown on
 If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me
