Independence

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
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 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
Bolstering national faith
We've got the American Jesus
Overwhelming millions every day

He's the farmer's barren fields
The force the army wields
Expession in the faces of the starving millions
The power of the man
The fuel that drives the clan
He's the motive and conscience of the murderer
He's the preacher on t.v.
The false sincerity
The form letter that's written by the big computers
The nuclear bombs
The kids with no moms
And I'm fearful that he's inside me

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
Bolstering national faith
We've got the American Jesus
Overwhelming millions every day

One nation
under God...



So I seem to be feeling a little cynical.

I can't imagine why.


A change next year? That would be good.

Nice! Deliciously cynical, I'd say. This ought to be put to music by Green Day. :)
