Drizzle The Categorical Imperative

Am       G                        
Immanuel Kant said that we should 
 Am
be good to each other
   C                      D
As we would be good to ourselves
      G                      Am
Treat people as ends and not means
                Bm               
If the murderer asks after family 
      B7
you tell
B7
The truth to him

    Am           G
The structure is kind
    B7          Em
The intention so sweet
      C            D           G  
So in his eyes I'd say that he won
 G7  Gm7  G6

        Am   Bm
But for me
    G7   Em
You see
     Am              D
It's never quite done


[Chorus]
Am               G
Trees lose their leaves
          B7      Em
When they flower I grieve
    C          D            G   
And everything always feels 
G7  Gm7  G6
wrong
    Am              D
The state kills the innocent
B7          E
God picks on Job
    Am        D       G
And boys take away my songs

Because any desirable trait can be 
turned undesirable
Or future "evil"
No trait can be seen as the source 
of goodness
Instead, goodwill itself is the 
essence of goodness
And remains the essence of goodness 
regardless of its outcome
This is why one should act according
 to the categorical imperative


[Verse 2]
          G                    
Well it's rained for three days 
 Em
straight
                  Am
And I wouldn't be off to suggest
      D
It'll rain for three more
   G
We open the window
       Em
To get some fresh air
       Am                          
But it makes the whole room just a 
D
little bit colder
    Am             G
And what's on your mind?
        B7
Are you low?
        Em
Are you high?
      C          D           G   
Are you having a pretty good run?
G7  Gm7  G6

    Am         G
What's on your mind
           B7        Em
Would you like to try mine?
      C           D           G   
For me it's never quite done
G7  Gm7  G6



[Chorus]
Am               G
Trees lose their leaves
          B7      Em
When they flower I grieve
    C          D            G   
And everything always feels 
G7  Gm7  G6
wrong
    Am              D
The state kills the innocent
B7          E
God picks on Job
    Am        D       G
And boys take away my songs

God does not owe the special 
treatment that Deontology reserves 
for people
And if God's law is unjust
Then Deontology would demand acting 
against it
Regardless of the consequences
Neither Kant nor Tronto hold that 
Job's God is the authority on 
goodness


[Chorus]
Am               G
Trees lose their leaves
          B7      Em
When they flower I grieve
    C          D            G   
And everything always feels 
G7  Gm7  G6
wrong
    Am              D
The state kills the innocent
B7          E
God picks on Job
    Am        D       G
And boys take away my songs

It is up to people to define what is
 ought to be done
And to do what they can to carry 
these good actions out
Even if the god they live under 
disagrees
And even if it means that the system
 must be changed
