[Verse]
I don t need to be a global citizen
because I m blessed by nationality
I m a member of a growing populace
we enforced our popularity
there are things that seem to pull us under and
there are things that drag us down
but there s a power and a vital presence
that s lurking all around
[Chorus]
we ve got the american jesus
see him on the interstate
we ve got the american jesus
he helped build the president s estate
[Verse]
I feel sorry for the earth s population
cuz so few live in the usa
at least the foreigners can copy our morality
they can visit but they cannot stay
only precious few can garner our prosperity
it makes us walk with renewed confidence
we ve got a place to go when we die
and the architecht resides right here
[Chorus]
we ve got the american jesus
bolstering national faith
we ve got the american jesus
overwhelming millions every day
[Verse]
he s the farmer s barren fields
the force the army wields
the expression in the faces of the starving millions
the power of the man
he s the fuel that drives the clan
he s the motive and the conscience of the murderer
he s the preacher on tv
the false sincerity
the form letter that s written by the big computers
he s the nuclear bombs
and the kids with no moms
and I m fearful that he s inside me
[Outro]
we ve got the american jesus.................
