Song lyrics
I don't need to be a global citizen, 
'Cuz I'm blessed by nationality, 
I'm a member of a growing populace, 
We enforced our popularity 
There are things thet seem to pull us under and 
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 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, 
And it makes us walk with 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 plan 
We've got the American Jesus 
Overwhelming millions everyday 

He's the farmer barren fields, 
The force the army wields, 
The expressions in the faces 
Of the starving childrens, 
The power of the man. 
The fuel that drives the clan, 
The motive and the conscience 
Of the murderer 
He's the preacher on TV, 
The false sincerity, 
The form letter that 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. 

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 plan 
We've got the American Jesus 
Overwhelming millions everyday, Yeah! 

One nation under God (8x)

This band is a disgrace!
Bad Religion are legends and then some poser-pop-punk band comes along and steals one of their songs!
It's a Bad Religion song not a Simple Plan one!
I'm a massive BR fan and i was so angry when i found out a stupid poser band like SP came a long and TRIED to re-do their song!
SP get your own songs...

Oh no!!! This is terrible! Simple Plan remade "American Jesus" with Bad Religion's permission! The world is coming to an end! What are we going to do? Simple Plan is famous and they sound good, so I hate them because my band never made it out of the garage... Why do they have to be good? I am just gonna sit here and say how bad they suck because I'm jealous... Why did they do it? *Sob*

~C'mon guys. Get a life.

holy fuckin mother of god since when did simple plan cover bad religion??!!!! fuck simple plan is so fuckin horrible they are the backstreet boys and nsync of today. man iloved american jesus by bad religion and now im fuckin curious to hear what this sounds like but im not gonna even bother bc i just might want to shoot myself!! i dont know if they consider them punk or if anybody does and you can say no their pop punk or mall punk or whatever the fuck you want but im pretty damn sure istill see the word punk in ther somewhere. they are not they are a fuckin boy band who got guitars and drums thrown at them and had the corporation dress them up tryin to pull of the look of gc and nfg who suck as well but not as much as simple plan. somebody should shoot the media for putting this shit mainstream.

you people are losers, they did this cover at warped tour last year and it was awesome, its a good song and this cover wasnt that bad, and theyre not posers, they dont try to be "punk", if they did they would get rid of pierre and get a "punk" singer, good job with this SP

I hope Simple Plan burns in fucking hell for this.
I really would like to know what Bad Religion thinks about it, the messeges in their songs differ greatly, Bad Religion makes fun of people like them.
His pussy just hit puberty voice makes the song sound like complete shit, please, Simple Plan, just fucking die, I hate you.

Dudes, stop being stupid and realize, that they did a cover, Bad Religion gave them permission to do this cover, because they liked simple plan
and just because your like the biggest fan in the world(or think you are) doesnt matter they started listening to them probaly at the same time you did
