Woody Guthrie sings 'Jesus Christ'



Christ for President

Lyrics by Woody Guthrie
Performed by Wilco and Billy Bragg

Music by Jeff Tweedy/Jay Bennett

Let's have Christ our 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 cast the money changers out of the temple
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
Way up in the Capital town
The USA be on the way
Prosperity Bound!

    The easiest way to anger a Democrat is to use the words Christ and President in the same sentence.

      Because republicans like to regulate vaginas in the name of Christ.

    This is obviously a parry in the secular war on Easter! Have a Good Friday...
