I don't need to be a global citizen,
because I'm blessed by nationality,
I'm a member of a growing populace,
we enforced 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
'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 walkwith renewed confidence,
we've got a place to go when we die
and the architect resides right here

we've got the american jesus
see him on the interstate,
we've got the american jesus
exercising his authority

he's the farmer barren fields,
the force the army wields,
the expression in the faces 
of the starving children,
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 letters that 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

(in god, we trust)
(he's god, he's one of us) 
(break down, cave in) 
(he can redeem your sins) 
(strong heart, too much) 
(chiquita rulla a bestia) 
(you lose, we win) 
(he is our champion!)

we've got the american jesus
see him on the interstate,
we've got the american jesus
exercising his authority
