I'm just crazy for profits,
All I ask is business growth.
I'll sell my soul for the company goal
'Cause I like money more than either or both.
For I'm an All-American industrialist merchant man;
I hope you keep your families large.
I'm floating all the junk that I sold you last year
On a sanitation company barge,
Sailing toward the brown horizon.
A very small price we pay;
Dirty air and dirty water,
But it keeps me rich the capitalist way.
Now, don't cut down your consuming
Just to save a little of Earth
We've made our stuff to last long enough
To get you used to things of limited worth.
For I'm an All-American industrialist merchant man;
I hope you keep your families large.
I'm floating all the junk that I sold you last year
On a sanitation company barge,
Sailing toward the brown horizon.
A very small price we pay;
Dirty air and dirty water,
But it keeps me rich the capitalist way.
Now, war is our given duty,
And army sales are steadily up.
As long as she buys more bombs and highs
I can keep a lot of tea in my cup.
For I'm an All-American industrialist merchant man;
I hope you keep your families large.
I'm floating all the junk that I sold you last year
On a sanitation company barge,
Sailing toward the brown horizon.
A very small price we pay;
Dirty air and dirty water,
But it keeps me rich the capitalist way.
