American Jesus

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 'cause 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

We've got the American Jesus
Overwhelming millions every day

He's the farmer barren fields (in God we trust)
The force the army wields
The expressions on the faces (because he's one of us)
Of the starving millions
He's the power of the Man (break down, cave in)
The fuel that drives the Klan
He's the motive and the conscience (we can redeem your sins)
Of the murderer
He's the preacher on TV (strong heart, clear minds)
The false sincerity
The form letters that written (and infinitely kind)
By the big computers
He's the nuclear bombs (you lose, we win)
And the kids with no moms
And I'm fearful that (he is our champion!)
He's inside me
Yeah!

We've got the American Jesus
See him on the interstate (we've got the American Jesus)
We've got the American Jesus
Exercising his authority
