String Quartet Tribute To Bad Religion - American Jesus
текст песни

I don't need to be a global citizen,
Because 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
'cuz so few live in the USA.
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 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 farmer's barren fields, (In God)
The force the army wields, (We trust)
The expression in the faces of the starving millions. (Because he's one of us)
The power up above, (Break down)
He's the fuel that drives the clan, (Cave in)
He's the motive and the conscience of the murderer. (He can redeem your sins)
He's the preacher on TV, (Strong heart)
The false sincerity, (Clear mind)
The form letters that's written by the big computers. (And infinitely kind)
He's 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!)

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... (ad infinitum)
