Bad Religion - American Jesus

I don't need to be a global citizen
'cuz i'm blessed by nationality
I'm a member of a growing populace
We enforce ur 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
Thats 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
'cuz 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 national 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 children
The power of the man
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 written by the big computers
The nuclear bombs
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 national faith
We've got the american jesus
Overwhelming millions every day
Yeah
