[b:2gz9nnvt]Bad Religion
American Jesus[/b:2gz9nnvt]

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 

we've got the american jesus
see him on the interstate, 
we've got the american jesus
he helped build the president's estate

I feel sorry for the earth's population
'cuz so few live in the U.S.A,
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 architect resides right here 

we've got the american jesus
overwhelming millions every day 
(exercising his authority) 

he's the farmer barren fields, 
the force the army wields,
the expression in the faces of the starving children,
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

(In God we trust) (because he's one of us)
(break down, cave in) (we can redeem your sins)
(strong heart, clear mind) (and infinitely kind)
(you lose, we win) (he is our champion!)
