American Jesus Lyrics - Tested (live) - Bad Religion

I don't need to be a global citizen 

'Cause I'm blessed by nationality 

I'm a member of a growing populace 

We enforce our popularity 

There are things that seem to pull us under and 

There are things that drag us down 

But there's a power and a vital presence 

That'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 

'Cause 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 the prosperity 

It makes us walk with renewed confidence 

We've 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 farmers barren fields (In God) 

The force the army wields (We trust) 

The expression on the faces of the starving millions (Because he's one of us) 

The power of the damned (Break down) 

The fuel that drives the Klan (Cave in) 

He's the motive and the conscience of the murderer (He can redeem your sin) 

He's the preacher on TV (Strong heart) 

The false sincerity (Clear mind) 

Photos 

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) 

Yeah, we've got the American Jesus 

See him on the interstate 

(We've got the American Jesus) We've got the American Jesus 

Exercising his authority 

We've got the American Jesus 

Bolstering National faith 

(We've got the American Jesus) We've got the American Jesus 

Overwhelming millions every day 

One nation under God 

One nation under God 

One nation under God
