Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
We've got the American Jesus
See him on the interstate
We've got the American Jesus
He helped build the president's estate
[Verse 3]
I feel sorry for the earth's population
'Cause so few live in the USA
At least the foreigners can copy our morality
They can visit, but they cannot stay
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
We've got the American Jesus
Bolstering national faith
We've got the American Jesus
Overwhelming millions every day
[Bridge]
He's the farmer's barren fields
In God
The force the army wields
We trust
Expressions on the faces of the starving millions
Because he's one of us
[Bridge]
The power of the man
Break down
The fuel that drives the Klan
Cave in
He's the motive and the conscience of the murderer
We can redeem your sin
[Bridge]
He's the preacher on TV
Strong heart
The false sincerity
Clear mind
The form letter that's written by the big computers
And infinitely kind
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
We've got the American Jesus
See him on the interstate
We've got the American Jesus
Exercising his authority
[Chorus]
We've got the American Jesus
Bolstering national faith
We've got the American Jesus
Overwhelming millions every day
Yeah
[Outro]
One nation under God
One nation under God
One nation under God
One nation under God
[Outro]
One nation under God
One nation under God
One nation under God
One nation under God
[Outro]
One nation under God
One nation under God
One nation under God
