lirik lagu soc(k)rates – cool sock gang

verse 1
yo, here’s a little song about ethical choices
allow us to help with philosophical voices
we gotta determine what’s wrong or right
so imma p-ss it off to adam cause he raps real tight
yo the names cook and i’s gotsta say
this philosophy sh-ts bout to make your day
these europe bois they thought and junk
and now we got alotta books and theories to debunk
ethical problems that we got to solve
leads to people crying in a train track stall
these lads bare old they got rats and fleas
but they still pretty fly, just like our socrates

verse 2
dead greek bois with the big white beards
thinking bout things opened up our ears
they got moral choices that are hard to make
you could be dealing with lives for goodness sake
when you kant decide what the right choice is
gets lotsa people thinkin in the philosophy biz
making hard decisions is never fun
saving 5 lives but at the cost of 1
k!lling a guy will lead you to booze
and when the powers in your hands, what track do you choose?

chorus
philosophy
philosophy

verse 3. universal ethical systems
philo – sophy, love of wisdom
we murder this track like terrorism
ethical text, yeah we be reading em
we break it down like das digestive system
getting german info from a guy named hagel
this track is on fire, like when i toastin my bagel
systems in place to know what’s valid and sound
it’s stuff like this that makes the world go round

chorus 2
is there a universal ethical system
could there be one in existence?
one that determines right and wrong
and doesn’t go back and forth like watching ping pong
moral relativists say no
but we can’t say fo sho
why don’t we explore some possibilities
and check out their capabilities

chorus 3
let’s start with egoistic relativism
it’s not very immune to criticism
it says that it’s up to each person to decide
how each thing is morally cl-ssified
it basically says that morality is relative
but to be honest that’s a little too primitive
its cause we humans are social creatures
and tend to disagree on ethical procedures

bridge
let’s take a peek at the social kind of relativism
this says that the group is central-uh-ism
this does sound like it could be pretty plausible
but really it just sounds a little irresponsible
we have lots of cool stuff, cultures and religions
not to mention all of the historical traditions
all these groups have different values and beliefs
if they make moral decisions then it makes mad beef -cow-

chorus 4
incommensurable pluralism
is a hard line to say
it was developed by liberal philosophers
and is trying to convey
that groups can’t even agree on basic principles
and though it sounds cynical it is pretty typical
things like slavery, polygamy, and infanticide
some seem to like em but others are mortified

society needs a code of rights and responsibilities
so that everyone knows how to act civilly
it needs to be one that all can subscribe to
or else lots of conflicts will continue —
