[VERSE]
A5 C5
I don't need to be a global citizen
F5 G5
because I'm blessed by nationality
A5 C5
I'm a member of a growing populace
F5 G5
we enforced our popularity
A5 C5
there are things that seem to pull us under and
F5 G5
there are things that drag us down
A5 C5
but there's a power and a vital presence
F5 E5
that's lurking all around
[CHORUS]
A5 C5 F5 G5
we've got the american jesus
A5 C5 F5 G5
see him on the interstate
A5 C5 D5 F5
we've got the american jesus
A5 G5 F5
he helped build the president's estate
[VERSE]
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
[CHORUS]
we've got the american jesus
postering the nationalty
we've got the american jesus
overwhelming millions every day
[BRIDGE]
he's the farmer's 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...
[rhythm 2 8x]
And I know you're watching everything I do
Call me threat to your children, call me
