SueB Lyr Req: Christ for President (Woody Guthie) (4) ADD: Christ for President (Woody Guthrie) 14 Apr 04


Not the most timely response, but what the hell...

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 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
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 capitol town
The USA'd be on the way
Prosperity bound


I got these words off a copy of a CD which is only labeled
Billy Bragg and Wilco, didn't know it was a Guthrie song.
