Jesus Was a Capricorn
Jesus, the Capricorn Rebel: Organic, Peaceful, and Unshod
Lyrics
Well Jesus was a Capricorn
Jesus is associated with the astrological sign Capricorn.
He ate organic food
Jesus preferred organic food.
He believed in love and peace and never wore no shoes
Emphasis on Jesus' belief in love, peace, and a barefoot lifestyle.
Long-haired beard and sandals
Description of Jesus' appearance: long hair, beard, and sandals.
And a funky bunch of friends
Jesus had a diverse group of friends with a unique style.
I believe we'd nail him up if he came down again
Suggests a cynical view that society might reject Jesus if he returned.
'Cause everybody's gotta have somebody to look down on
Expresses the human tendency to find someone to look down upon.
Who they can be better than at any time they please
People often seek someone to feel superior to whenever they want.
Someone doin something dirty decent folks can frown on
Refers to judging others for behavior considered morally wrong.
If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me
Offers oneself as a target for judgment if no one else is available.
Every egghead cussing rednecks cussing hippies for their hair
Mentions conflicts and judgments based on appearance and beliefs.
Others laugh at straights who laugh at freaks who laugh at squares
Illustrates a cycle of mockery between different social groups.
Some folks hate the white folks
Highlights racial animosity and prejudice.
Hate the black folks
Depicts a chain of hatred among various racial groups.
Who hate the Klan folks
Specifically targets the Ku Klux Klan as a source of hatred.
Most folks hate good jokes they don't understand
Most people dislike jokes they can't comprehend.
'Cause everybody's gotta have somebody to look down on
Reiterates the human tendency to look down on others.
Who they can be better than at any time they please
Reemphasizes the desire to feel superior to someone.
Someone doin something dirty decent folks can frown on
Repeats the idea of condemning morally questionable actions.
If you can't find nobody else, help yourself to me
Offers oneself as a target for judgment in the absence of others.
Well Jesus was Capricorn
Reiteration of Jesus' association with the Capricorn sign.
He ate Organic Food
Restates Jesus' preference for organic food.
He believed in love and peace
Reaffirms Jesus' beliefs in love, peace, and a shoeless lifestyle.
And never wore no shoes
Reiterates the description of Jesus' appearance.
Long hair, beard and sandals
-And a Funky bunch of friends

Man I reckon we'd just nail him up if he came down again
Repeats the cynical view that society might reject Jesus if he returned.
'Cause everybody's gotta have somebody to look down on
Restates the human tendency to find someone to look down upon.
Who they can be better than at any time they please
Reemphasizes the desire to feel superior to someone.

Repeats the idea of condemning morally questionable actions.
If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me
Offers oneself as a target for judgment in the absence of others.
Yea, if you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me
Encourages judgment directed towards oneself if no one else is available.
If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me x2
Repeats the encouragement for judgment towards oneself.
Help yourself to me
