8/8
A5 C5
I dont need to be a global citizen
F5 G5
cause Im blessed by nationality
I'm a member of a growing populace
we enforced 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
Chorus
FigIII 8/8! A5 C5 ! F5 G5 !
8/8
A5 C5 F5 G5
Weve got the american jesus
see him on the interstate
we've got the american jesus
he helped build the president's estate
Repeat / Intro until *
Verse II
Repeat / Fig II
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
Chorus
repeat / Fig III
we've got the american jesus
postering the nationalty
we've got the american jesus
overwhelming millions every day
Bridge
FigII (all notes Palm muted)
8/8
A5
he's the farmer's barren fields
C5
the force the army wields
F5 G5
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
Verse III
repeat FigII
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
Chorus
repeat / FigIII
Weve got the american jesus
see him on the interstate
Weve got the american jesus
He decides we need authority
Weve got the american jesus
Postering Nationality
Weve got the american jesus
Ahhhhhh ahhha ahhhhhaaaa Let'S GO !
Outro
Repeat / Fig I until *
One nation private god

One nation private god
One nation private god
