OK, I know, the sound is god-awfully out-of-sync. But I have Windows 7, and a lot of you know that Windows 7 and screen recording programs don't exactly mesh well for various reasons. Anyway, this song, which I obviously did not compose this time, is American Jesus by Bad Religion, one of the only credible punk rock bands left. The lyrics are done via the coin piano, in case you're wondering. Speaking of lyrics, here they are:


i don't need to be a global citizen
because 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
thats 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 U.S.A.
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 farmers barren fields
the force the army wields
the expession in the faces of the starving millions
the power of the man, the fuel that drives the Klan
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 and 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.

If you're nuts and want to sing along for some reason, there you go. :)
