Christ for President - Live at the Boulder Theater, Boulder, CO 11/1/99
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
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
