    Story Behind the Song
    I needed a gospel song for my gig in Colorado Springs, "Home of Focus on the Family".... This version was recorded on the Folk Next Door "At Home for the Holidays" CD, long out of print.

    Lyrics
    long-haired radical socialist Jew
    © 1996 Hugh Blumenfeld/Hydrogen Jukebox Music


    Well Jesus was a homeless lad
    With an unwed mother and an absent dad
    And I really don’t think he would have gotten that far
    If Newt, Pat and Jesse had followed that star

    Refrain: So let’s all sing out praises to
    That long-haired radical socialist Jew

    When Jesus taught the people he
    Would never charge a tuition fee
    He just took some fishes and some bread
    And made up free school lunches instead
    So let’s all sing out praises to....

    He healed the blind and made them see
    He brought the lame folks to their feet
    Rich and poor, any time, anywhere
    Just pioneering that free health care
    So let’s all sing out praises to....

    Jesus hung with a low-life crowd
    But those working stiffs sure did him proud
    Some were murderers, thieves and whores
    But at least they didn’t do it as legislators
    So let’s all sing out praises to....

    (Modulate to A)

    Jesus lived in troubled times
    the religious right was on the rise
    Oh what could have saved him from his terrible fate?
    Separation of church and state.
    So let’s all sing out praises to....

    Sometimes I fall into deep despair
    When I hear those hypocrites on the air
    But every Sunday gives me hope
    When pastor, deacon, priest, and pope
    Are all singing out their praises to
    Some long-haired radical socialist Jew.

    They’re singing out their praises to..oooo..oooo..
    Some long-haired radical socialist Jew.
