lyrics

"American Ethic"

I work all day in a factory
Making parts for bombs I'll never see
I have to support a family
American ethic will set me free
I work in a forest cutting trees
I work in a lab creating disease
Dressed in blue I do what I please
American ethic will will set be free
Don't care for homeless lazy slobs
Get off your ass and get a job
A shining example, look at me
American ethic will set me free
I don't care about suffering in foreign lands
I've got a clear conscience, no blood on my hands
I don't care about pollution or poverty
American ethic will set me free
Get up in the morning, get to bed at night
I don't know my wife, so we don't fight
I've got some kids just like me
American ethic will set them free
I've lived my life without any thought
Except for my job and what I've bought
Seems like someone has lied to me
Now I need death to set me free
I don't care about suffering in foreign lands
I've got a clear conscience, no blood on my hands
I don't care about pollution or poverty
American ethic will set me free
