Billy Bragg, Wilco - Christ for President lyrics
[Billy Bragg, Wilco - Christ for President lyrics]
Let's have Christ our president
Let us have him for our king
Cast your vote for the Carpenter
That they call the Nazarene
The only way they can ever beat
These crooked politician men
Is to cast the moneychangers
Out of the temple put the Carpenter in
Oh it's Jesus Christ, our president
God above our king
With a job and a pension for young and old
We will make hallelujah ring
Every year we waste enough
To feed the ones who starve
We build our civilization up
And we shoot it down with wars
But with the Carpenter on the seat
Way up in the capitol town
The USA, be on the way prosperity bound
Let us have him for our king
Cast your vote for the Carpenter
That they call the Nazarene
The only way they can ever beat
These crooked politician men
Is to cast the moneychangers
Out of the temple put the Carpenter in
Oh it's Jesus Christ, our president
God above our king
With a job and a pension for young and old
We will make hallelujah ring
Every year we waste enough
To feed the ones who starve
We build our civilization up
And we shoot it down with wars
But with the Carpenter on the seat
Way up in the capitol town
The USA, be on the way prosperity bound
