Lyrics
[Verse]
In this world of excess
Where's the common sense?
Utilitarianism
Ain't that the defense?
We're just cogs in the machine
Numbers on a screen
Trying to find meaning in this consumerist regime
[Verse]
Gotta maximize pleasure
Minimize the pain
But tell me
Where does the human touch remain?
Morals and ethics lost in the pursuit
Of the almighty dollar
Tell me
What's the truth?
[Verse]
Utilitarian utopia
A facade we've created
Every action
Every choice calculated
But can't we see
There's more to life than the price?
We're losing our humanity
Can't you hear the cries?
[Verse 2]
Sacrifice for the many, that's the utilitarian's call
But what of the minority, left to stand so small?
One life saved, a thousand weep, the equation's so unclear
Are we robots following code, or humans filled with fear?
[Chorus]
Utilitarianism, a question on our tongue
Does it bring the greatest good, for everyone, old or young?
Efficiency's a siren, but is it justice's call?
Maybe there's a balance, a way to have it all
[Bridge]
Perhaps the answer lies not in numbers cold and stark
But in empathy and compassion, leaving its hopeful mark
Understanding others, their joys, their every tear
Building bridges, not divides, a world we all can share
[Chorus]
Utilitarian utopia
A facade we've created
Every action
Every choice calculated
But can't we see
There's more to life than the price?
We're losing our humanity
Can't you hear the cries?
[Outro]
Utilitarianism is a tool, not a decree
Let's use it with a conscience, and set our spirits free
For happiness and fairness, hand in hand they'll roam
Creating a world of balance, a better place to call home
[Ending]
