[A] I don't need to be a [C]global citizen,
[F] because I'm blessed by natio[G]nality,
[A] I'm a member of a [C]growing populace,
[F] we enforced our popu[G]larity
[A] there are things that seem to [C]pull us under and
[F] there are things that [G]drag us down,
[A] but there's a power and a [C]vital presence
that's [F]lurking all [E]around
[A] we've [C]got the a[F]merican [G]jesus
[A] see him [C]on the [F]inter[G]state,
[A] we've [C]got the [D]american [F]jesus
[A]he helped build the [G]president's es[F]tate

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've got a place to go when we die
and the architecht resides right here
we've got the american jesus
postering the ...(?)...
we've got the american jesus
overwhelming millions every day
he's the farmer barren fields,
the force the army wields,
the expression in the faces
of the starving millions,
the power of the man.
he's the fuel that drives the clan,
he's the motive and the conscience
of the murderer
he's the preacher on TV,
the false sincerity,
the form letter that's written by
the big computers,
he's the nuclear bombs,
and the kids with no moms
and I'm fearful that
he's inside me
we've got the american jesus...
