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 |
|
Bolstering national faith |
|
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 |
|
(He is our champion) |
|
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 |
|
We've got the American Jesus |
|
Bolstering national faith |
|
(We've got the American Jesus) |
|
We've got the American Jesus |
|
Overwhelming millions every day |
|
(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) |
