American Jesus

(Bad Religion)

I don't need to be a global (1)
because I'm (2) by nationality,
I'm a (3) of a growing populace,
we enforce (4) popularity
there are (5) that seem to pull us under
and there are things that (6) us down,
but there's a (7) and a vital presence
that's lurking all (8)

we've got the american jesus
(9) him on the interstate,
we've got the american jesus
he helped (10) the president's estate

I feel (11) for the earth's population
'cuz so few (12) in the U.S.A,
at least the foreigners can copy our (13) ,

the form letters that written by the big computers,
(and infinitely kind)
he's the nuclear bombs,
(you lose)
and the kids with no moms
(we win)
and I'm fearful that he's inside me
(he is our champion)
