Lyrics Billy Bragg

Billy Bragg

Christ For President

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
