American Jesus [Live]

Are you guys ready for another song? (Yeah)
Are you sure? (Yeah) alright

We're goin' to play a special song
Because, because we love you guys
This next song, is a song, is one of the first songs
That I grew up listening to when I was into punk rock
It's song by a band that we respect a lot
And this song means a lot to us
I hope you know this song
This is a song called American Jesus by Bad Religion

What?
Yeah

I don't need to be a global citizen
'Cause 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
It'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, yeah

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
See him on the interstate
We've got the American Jesus
Overwhelming millions everyday, yea-ah

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey
I love you guys, thank you all for coming
I'll stop, hey, hey, hey, hey

He's the farmers barren fields
The force the army wields
Expression in the faces of the starving millions
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 TV, the false sincerity
The form letter that's written by the big computers
The nuclear bombs and the kids with no moms
I'm fearful that he's inside me, yeah

We've got the American Jesus
See him on the interstate
We've got the American Jesus
Exercising his authority

We've got the American Jesus
See him on the interstate
We've got the American Jesus
Overwhelming millions every day (come on, everybody), yeah

One nation, under god
One nation, under god
One nation, under god
One nation, under god
One nation, under god
One nation, under god
One nation, under god
One nation, under god

Thank you (thank you)
