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 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
Let us have him for our king
Cast your vote for the carpenter
That they call the Nazarene
We could ever beat
These crooked politician men
Is to cast the moneychangers
Out of the temple
Put the carpenter in
God above our king
With a job and pension for young and old
We will make hallelujah ring
To feed the ones who starve
We build our civilization up
And we shoot it down with wars
On the seat
Way up in the capitol town
Be on the way
Prosperity bound

Remember that during the Great Depression of the 1930s, this song would have made sense. Many people turned to Socialism at that time because they felt Capitalism wasn't working.
