      [Verse]
G
Jesus was a Capricorn
   C           G
He ate organic food

He believed in love and peace
    A             D
And never wore no shoes

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

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

[Verse]
G
Eggheads fussin' rednecks cussin'
C                 G
Hippies for their hair

Others laugh at straights who laugh at
A                   D
Freaks who laugh at squares
 
G
Some folks hate the Whites
             C                   G
Who hate the Blacks who hate the Klan
C               G
Most of us hate anything that
D        G
We don't understand

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