He helped build the president's estate
(Break down)
He's the preacher on TV
But there's a power and a vital presence
We've got the American Jesus
One nation under God
(And infinitely kind)
I'm a member of a growing populace
Overwhelming millions every day
The fuel that drives the Klan
The kids with no moms
We've got the American Jesus
Exercising his authority
We've got the American Jesus
And I'm fearful that he's inside me
We've got the American Jesus
The false sincerity
The nuclear bombs
The form letter that's written by the big computers
(He can redeem your sin)
The expression on the faces of the starving millions
(Cave in)
There are things that drag us down
The power of the damned
At least the foreigners can copy our morality
Bolstering National faith
One nation under God
(We trust)
We've got the American Jesus
It makes us walk with renewed confidence
We've got the American Jesus
We enforce our popularity
(Clear mind)
They can visit but they cannot stay
There are things that seem to pull us under and
(He is our champion)
'Cause so few live in the U.S.A.
(We win)
That's lurking all around
(Because he's one of us)
I feel sorry for the earth's population
And the architect resides right here
(We've got the American Jesus)
Only precious few can garner the prosperity
We've got the American Jesus
(You lose)
See him on the interstate
He's the farmers barren fields
Bolstering national faith
He's the motive and the conscience of the murderer
(Strong heart)
(We've got the American Jesus)
(In God)
See him on the interstate
The force the army wields
One nation under God
Overwhelming millions every day
Yeah, we've got the American Jesus
We've got a place to go when we die
