and jesus.

lyrics

jesus was a hippy

jesus was a hippy, he'd travelled far
with open sandals and electric guitar;
all of his disciples lived in the van,
playing on their bongos and saying "hey far out man!!"

he went down to the temple, the priest wasn't cool,
tried to send old jesus back to sunday school;
all of his teachers wearing cheesy grins,
"hey man.." said jesus, "you're doin' my head in!!"

i wanna be like jesus x3
right now!!
hey wow!!!

i wanna be like jesus, by your lovin' flame...
so pass that smoke man...in jesus' name!!

i wanna be like jesus x3
right now!!
hey wow!!!
