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