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 for 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!
