akira the don - beware of virtue (20k version) lyrics
and what seems a good thing today
turns out tomorrow to have been a disaster
what seemed in the moral spiritual sphere too, like great virtues in times past
are easily seen today as hideous evils
let’s take, for example, the inquisition
in its own day, among catholics, the holy inquisition was regarded as we today regard the practice of psychiatry
you, you see, you feel that in curing the person of cancer, almost anything is justified
the most complex operation, the most weird surgery, people suspended for days and days on end on the еnd of tubes with x+ray penetration
burning, pеople undergoing shock treatment, people locked in the colorless, monotonous corridors of mental institutions
in all good faith, they knew that witchcraft and heresy were terrible things
awful plagues imperiling people’s souls forever and ever
so any means were justified to cure people of heresy
we don’t change
[chorus]
we don’t change
we’re doing the same thing today
but under different names
we don’t change (nah, nah, nah, nah)
we’re doing the same thing today
but under different names
we can look back at those people and see how evil that was
but we can’t see it in ourselves
so therefore, beware of virtue
[chorus]
we don’t change
we’re doing the same thing today
but under different names
we don’t change (nah, nah, nah, nah)
we’re doing the same thing today
under different names
we don’t change
we’re doing the same thing today
but under different names
we don’t change (nah, nah, nah, nah)
we’re doing the same thing today
under different names
so therefore, beware of virtue
so therefore, beware
beware of virtue
