If they saw him riding in
Long hair flying 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
Would the rich men
Think it funny
If he said
Give up your money
Would they love him up
On Wall Street today
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
