I don't need to be a global citizen
'Cuz 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
Riff A x4
I feel sorry for the earth's population
'Cuz so few live in the USA
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 reconfidence
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 farmers barren fields (in god)
The force the army wields (we trust)
The expression in the faces (because)
Of the starving millions (he's one of us)
The power of the man (break down)
He's the fuel that drives the clan (cave in)
He's the motive and conscience (we can)
Of the murderer (take in our sins)
He's the preacher on TV (strong heart)
The false sincerity (too high)
The form letter that's written (an infinite)
By the big computers (kind)
The nuclear bombs (you lose)
And the kids with no moms (we win)
And I'm fearful that (he is)
He's inside me (our champion)
We've got the american Jesus
See him on the interstate (we've got the american Jesus)
We've got the american Jesus
Exercisin' 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 everyday
Riff A x8 (one nation under god)
