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.
