Lyrics Bad Religion – American Jesus (Andy Wallace Mix)
Text:
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 drag us down.
But there’s a power and a vital presence,
It’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,
‘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 our prosperity,
It makes us walk with renewed confidence.
We 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)
Expressions on the faces of the starving millions, (Because He’s one of us)
The power of the man, (Break down)
He’s the fuel that drives the Klan, (Cave in)
He’s the motive and the conscience of the murderer, (We can redeem your sins)
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)
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
One nation, under God…
