If they saw him ridin' in Long hair flyin' in the wind Would they love him down in Shreveport today? If they heard he was a Jew And a Palestinian too Would they love him down in Nashville today ? If they saw him talk with ease To the junkies, whores and thieves Would they love him out in Wichita today? And would the rich men think it funny? If he said, "Give up your money" Would they love him up on Wall Street today? And if he made the wine from water Gave it to their sons and daughters What would the folks in Salt Lake City say? If he talked of brotherhood As he walked their neighborhoods Would they love him up in Boston today ? If he said, "Love those who use you And forgive those who abuse you" If he turned the other cheek what would you say? Would you laugh and call him crazy And send him on his way? If he walked right into your town today Would you laugh and call him crazy And send him on his way? If he walked right into your town today
