Jesus Was a Capricorn (Owed to John Prine) Songtext
von Kris Kristofferson

Jesus was a Capricorn
He ate organic food
He believed in love and peace
And never wore no shoes

Long hair, beard and sandals
And a funky bunch of friends
Reckon may just nail Him up
If He come down again

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

Get back, John


Eggheads cursin′, rednecks cussin′
Hippies for their hair
Others laugh at straights who laugh at
Freaks who laugh at square

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 please
Someone doin′ somethin' dirty, decent folks can frown on
But you can′t find nobody else, then help yourself to me

Help yourself brother
Help yourself [Incomprehensible]
Help yourself brother
