Jesus Christ Is Not an American Lyrics


by Restless Modern

Left behind
Are these expectations
Poisoning my mind

Take a drive
Through a guardrail
After twenty years online

Every man for himself
Leaves a lot to be desired
Who am I to be helped
When it’s cheaper if I die

Jesus Christ is not an American
Jesus Christ is not an American

I’m a king
But the more I have
The less it starts to mean

God’s a thing
I can leverage
To suppress my enemies

Every man for himself
Leaves a lot to be desired
Who am I to be helped
When it’s cheaper if I die

Jesus Christ is not an American
Jesus Christ is not an American

Proxy hallelujahs
Waving goodbye
Fatal contradictions
Where your loyalties lie

I’m alive
Not to serve myself
But to self-sacrifice

Over time
I just hope your words
Can see themselves in mine
Jesus Christ is not an American
Jesus Christ is not an American

Jesus Christ is not an American
Jesus Christ is not an American
