American Jesus

Lyrics
Oh no

I'm an American Jesus

I'm an 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 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

See him on the interstate

We've got the American Jesus

Overwhelming millions every day

He's the farmer's barren fields

In God)

The force the army wields

We trust)

The expression on the faces of the starving millions

Because he's one of us)

The power of the man

Breakdown)

He's the fuel that drives the Klan

Cave in)

He's the motive and conscience of the murderer

He can redeem your sin)

He's the preacher on T.V.

Strong heart)

The false sincerity

Clear mind)

The form letter that's written by the big computers

And infinitely kind)

The nuclear bombs

You lose)

The kids with no moms

We win)

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

Bolstering national faith

We've got the American Jesus

Overwhelming millions every day
