Wilco Picture
Rising from the ashes of venerable alt-countrypioneers Uncle Tupelo, Jeff Tweedyhas guided his band's transformation from rootsy americanarevivalists to avant-garde guitar experimentalists and back again. Along the way, they have played darkly-themed 1970spop-inspired rock songs to sprawling rock epics. In 2002 Wilco released the widely popular album "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot". The album received excellent reviews including a perfect 10.0 from http://pitchforkmedia.com. The album itself has a complex legend: Initally rejected by Wilco's record company, the songs were distributed freely on the Internet.

Christ For President Lyrics

Wilco

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
