i don't need to be a global citizen
|
because i'm blessed by nationality
|
i'm 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
|
thats 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 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
|
overwhelming millions every day
|
(exercising his authority)
|
he's the farmers barren fields
|
the force the army wields
|
the expession 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 conscience
|
of the murderer
|
he's the preacher on t.v.
|
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
|
