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
