Let dos and don'ts prevail
Where man cannot decide,
Remove the uncertainty veil
And put instincts aside
And build a concrete fence
Between all right and wrong
For the sake of social rules and hence
For the sake of pitiful us all.
And let us grow less human,
Robotically designed,
With obvious solutions,
Uncertainties consigned...
Show me the spine of morality
And give me a choice to make
For who am I, if not a gambler
Playing on fine ethics edge?

Let dos and don'ts prevail
Where man cannot decide,
Remove the uncertainty veil
And put instincts aside
And build a concrete fence
Between all right and wrong
For the sake of social rules and hence
For the sake of pitiful us all.
And let us grow less human,
Robotically designed,
With obvious solutions,
Uncertainties consigned...
Show me the spine of morality
And give me a choice to make
For who am I, if not a gambler
Playing on fine ethics edge?
