Lyrics Kris Kristofferson

Kris Kristofferson

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
