The Absolute American

I've been through Hell and I came back an atheist
Because I didn't want to believe that I'd been through this
And I've been singing the songs of the promise land
I guess you can say I am the absolute American

If speaking in tongues means you've bought yourself in
I'll stop making change when you start making sense

We saw where you died; it's not right at all
Nobody looked for you; we saw where you died

If speaking in tongues means you've bought yourself in
I'll stop making change when you start making sense

We are the church of the tax payer's son
Sold out beliefs like we ever had some

I've been through Hell and I came back an atheist
Because I didn't want to believe that I'd been through this
And I've been singing the songs of the promise land
I guess you can say I am the absolute American

I need to know just where to go
North or South, I don't know
