Christ For President Lyrics - Billy Bragg

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 

We could 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 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
