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 our 
prosperity
it makes us walk with renewed 
confidence
we've got a place to go when we die
and the architecht resides right 
here

we've got the american jesus
postering the ...(?)...
we've got the american jesus
overwhelming millions every day

he's the farmer's 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
