American Jesus Lyrics

Lyric discussion by dropkick34 

Cover art for American Jesus lyrics by Bad Religion

...ok...big surprise. Here it is. Song was written after a comment George Bush Sr. made about how america couldn't do wrong in the Gulf War, because Jesus was on the side of America. Which is, of course, psychotic self-imbibing fanaticism, but also a good indicator that intelligence is NOT something that runs in that family. That's still true, actually, many people think that current conflicts cannot go bad because Jesus is "on america's side". (Note the lyrics in the background when Greg's listing what the American Jesus is. <not above, so here they are> In God, we trust, because he's one of us. Break down, Cave in. We can redeem your sins. Strong Heart. Clear mind, and infinitely kind. You lose. We Win. He's our champion) This little post could turn into an hours long political discussion, but i'll stop now.
