It's oh, so hard to find what one's duty is
Oh, so hard to see what my "moral obligations" are
I hear you should take an extra serving if going to a bar
Hell!, take an extra serving wherever you are!

(Oh, this isn't a trite pep-talk kids.....)

Such obligations, like clean up this sty
Do try and think ahead while living through the by and by
And don't ever stop thanking that CONROLER in the sky

(Oh, don't think it's a "bait and switch" of an old atheist)

They're examplified by some verbal command dripping with gold
They say do it well or your "I'm not sure what this is" will be sold
There's no reason why, but they'll say you've already beeen told
Their plight is such: I wanna shelter my IDEALS so I'll be the mold!!

(Oh, don't think it's about getting lost, read on for the fix: )

Such obligations are dropped on your shoulders the second you're born
You already feel their tiresome weight before the cord is shorn
Such a mess it makes, such a good reason for the abundance of scorn

(Oh, I think it's a bit confused, did we already try the mix?)

Who's stuck with housework & trickled out economics are involved
Who's been eating everything, all day till the next dawn
Who wants to be here, though that feeling pervades:I Don't Belong
Who needs slapped so hard, enough to pull them away from "The Throng"

(Oh, that went well...so if you wanna build a fire, use these sticks)

Grab your gun, you know who they are, kill any you see
Go totally wild in such a different way, it's the only way to be
Appendages are retrieved, cuz they're the things you wanna keep
They clasp you in chains, lock you away in some filthy light to sleep

(Oh, tell them why you've done it, tell it for some kicks....)

"I had a moral obligation to put that thing under!!"
We had moral obligations, now it's falling, ripped asunder

"I felt a moral obligation to do anything I wanted to!!"
We felt moral obligations, now it's falling, stinking of puke

"I use a moral obligation to excuse everything I do!!"
We used moral obligations while falling, it's the reasons why we lose

I liked this,,,but the truth about it to me is,,we all just need to be who we are, and to TRY and make a good difference to whatever we touch, in mind body and thoughts,wink..
If peace is easy to find within you, then peace can rain from you,wink..
Morals taste really good, if you baked them in your heart,wink.
If THEY get SHOVED into it,,their bitter and cold.
