[Verse] 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,
[Pre-Chorus] 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
[Chorus] we've got the american jesus fostering their shame on faith we've got the american jesus overwhelming millions every day
[Bridge] he's the farmer barren fields, the force the army wields, the 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 the conscience of the murderer he's the preacher on TV, 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
