American Jesus

I don't need to be a global citizen Because I'm blessed by nationality I'm member of a growing populace We enforce 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 the 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 Fostering their shame on faith We've got the American Jesus Overwhelming millions every day He's the farmers 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 conscience of the murderer He's the preacher on t.v., the false sincerity The form letter that's written by the big computers The nuclear bombs and the kids with no moms And I'm fearful that he's inside me We've got the American Jesus See him on the interstate We've got the American Jesus Exercising his authority We've got the American Jesus Fostering their shame on faith We've got the American Jesus Overwhelming millions every day, eah One nation, under god. One nation, under god. One nation, under god. One nation, under god. One nation, under god. One nation, under god. One nation, under god. One nation, under god. One nation, under god. One nation, under god. One nation, under god.
