Billy Bragg - Christ For President lyrics

Let's have Christ for President.

Let us have him for our King.

Cast your vote for the Carpenter

that you call the Nazarene.

The only way we can ever beat

these crooked politician men

Is to run the money changers out of the temple

And put the Carpenter in

O 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

away up in the capital town

The USA would be on the way prosperity bound!
