One of the Good Ones
Unveiling the Paradox of Virtue: One of the Good Ones
Lyrics
you live for your pride
You prioritize your pride above all.
but you’re one of the good ones
Despite flaws, you are considered a good person.
a little white lie
You tell small untruths but are still seen as good.
but you’re one of the good ones
Despite imperfections, you are one of the morally upright.
keep it bottled inside
You keep your emotions restrained.
one of the good ones
You are a morally commendable individual.
while the rules apply
You adhere to societal rules.
you’re one of the good ones
Despite conforming, you remain virtuous.
one of the good ones
You consistently embody goodness.
you won’t let them forget it
You assert and remind others of your virtue.
you’re one of the good ones
Your goodness is emphasized.
sometimes you regret it
Occasionally, you feel remorse for your actions.
but you’re one of the good ones
Your fundamental goodness prevails despite regrets.
as long as you’re fed
As long as your basic needs are met, you remain virtuous.
you’re one of the good ones
Your goodness is sustained when well-nourished.
and priority says
Prioritizing certain values confirms your moral standing.
that you’re one of the good ones
You are affirmed as one of the morally upright.
one of the good ones
You consistently embody goodness.
willfully ignorant
You deliberately choose not to know certain things.
one of the good ones
Despite willful ignorance, you are still seen as good.
a false equivalence
You draw false comparisons but are considered good.
one of the good ones
Despite flawed reasoning, you are morally commendable.
smitten with shame
You experience guilt and remorse.
one of the good ones
You are morally upright despite feeling shame.
a pawn in the game
You are manipulated but are still considered good.
one of the good ones
You are a pawn in societal games but remain virtuous.
one of the good ones
Your fundamental goodness is acknowledged.
