Christ for President Songtext
von Wilco

Let′s have Christ for president
Let us have him for our king
Cast your vote for the carpenter
They call the Nazarene

The only way we could ever beat
These crooked politician men
Is to cast the money changers out of the temple
Put the carpenter in


Oh, it's Jesus Christ our president
God above, our king
Givin′ a job and a pension for young and old
We'll make hallelujah ring

Every year we waste enough
To feed the ones who starve
We build our civilization up
And shoot it down with wars

But with the carpenter on the seat
Way up in the Capitol town
The USA will be on the way
Prosperity bound
