Christ For President lyrics
Song information
Artist: Billy Bragg
Album: Mermaid Avenue
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!
