Christ for President Lyrics


Let's have Christ our President
Let us have him for our king
Cast your vote for the Carpenter
That they call the NazareneThe only way
We could ever beat
These crooked politician menIs to cast the moneychangers
Out of the temple
Put the Carpenter inOh it's Jesus Christ our President
God above our king
With a job and pension for young and old
We will make hallelujah ringEvery year we waste enough
To feed the ones who starve
We build our civilization up
And we shoot it down with warsBut with the Carpenter
On the seat
Way up in the capitol townThe USA
Be on the way
Prosperity bound

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

The British singer Billy Bragg and the American band Wilco collaborated to put to music and perform previously unheard lyrics written by American folk singer Woody Guthrie. The project was organized by Guthrie's daughter, Nora Guthrie. The ensuing album "Mermaid Avenue" was released on the Elektra Records label on June 23, 1998. A second volume of recordings, "Mermaid Avenue Vol. II", followed in 2000. The projects are named after a song "Mermaid's Avenue" written by Guthrie. This was also the street in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York on which Guthrie lived.
