American Jesus
Bad Religion
American Jesus (Original Version)
I don't need to be a global citizen
Cause I'm blessed by nationality
I'm a 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
It'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 got a place to go when we die
And the architect resides right here
We've got the American Jesus
Bolstering national faith
We've got the American Jesus
Overwhelming millions every day
He's the farmer's barren fields
The force the army wields
Expressions on 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 T.V.
The false sincerity
The form letter that's written by the big computers
The nuclear bombs
The kids with no moms
And I'm fearful that he's inside me... yeah
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
Bolstering national faith
We've got the American Jesus
Overwhelming millions every day, yeah
One nation, under God...
