Songtexte Socrates - TheO

"Why? Why?
He kept asking why
That's why more and more people wanted him to die!"

Hello is that really you Plato?
Should you be here? Is this even possible?
Do you find this meeting to be pleasing?
Maybe use my brain for observation reasoning?

Who is most critical in thinking?
The quickest in throwing arguments?
Who follows arguments to wherever it may lead?
Who is the daddy of western philosophy?

Isn't that as clear as sunny day weather?
Can you name the best philosopher ever?
The whole work in simple socratic dialogue?
Are you familiar with the Socratic method?

Relating usually to one of the virtues?
What was it called again now?
Elenchus?
Do all we know come from Xenophon Plato?
Wait what's all this?
Questions answers?

Can u imagine there would be differents accounts
As to who you were in reality?
Can you imagine people telling different tales after your death
About your personality?

Was the accusation really corrupting the youth and impiety?
If the trial lasted the whole day
Did he really get sentenced to death?
Explicitally?

How come no one helped Socrates to escape?
This is a problem what do you mean he didn't want to?
Did he may be needed just a bit of help?
He just eeh laid on his bed?

Seemingly impossible to clarify
Socratic problem perhaps classified as unsolvable wouldn't you agree?
Do we have contradicting accounts as to who he was really?

How do people look at you?
Can you tell if they think you are smart?
Are you really an ugly old man?
Do you really think I am?
Wasn't I forty five when I died?

How come you stink so much?
What has happened to your nose eyes?
Does this mean that you are bathing rarely?
Ever think of getting rid of that belly?

Could being dirty as fuck lead to friction?
Ever heard of the mind body soul distinction?
Doesn't it look like when the gods granted us humans beauty
I honestly guess you Socrates were so busy
Questioning the existence of all that exists
That God forgot to bless you with beauty conveniently?

When has it happened you stopped caring in a sense
At least materialistically?
In all these years have you ever worn shoes?
Or do you always like walk barefoot?

Fellow Greeks don't you see I never seek no personal comfort?
Isn't this the same ragged coat I wear everyday
While I am still being honoured?

Can you tell us something about the people of Athens?
Maybe talk about their talkativeness?
Don't you think I am generally proclaiming my total ignorance?

Isn't this man Socrates also on the Legends list?
Never got paid for his teachings?
And doesn't want to be seen as a sophist?

Excellent in poetry music gymnastics?
Who of you moderate eating drinking sex like I do?
If things are bad in men how can it not be bad in God too?

Didn't you give me orders to bring Leon Salamis in?
Haven't I made it clear
Through word and action that the order you gave me ain't happening?

How come everyone is afraid of death
Just a few afraid of judging people and personality unjustly?
You really thought that the dirty Thirty Tyrants frighten me?

How many cowards did you count went ahead and brought Leon in easily?
Wasn't it young Meletus who convicted me?
You forget what happened to him after I died willingly?

Didn't I criticise both sides evenly?
What do you guys think of today's society?
Is it true by now whole of Greece has accepted Christianity?

Can you tell me the reason for your conviction?
Does any one errs willingly?
Why is it necessary to think that the basis of the verdict
Is politically or religiously?

Why was I the first one in Athens resisting sex with disciples?
Why doesn't anyone compare the bad I have done
To that of the different religions and all of its bibles?

Why didn't I flee the city?
Why did I instead drink the poison favoured by the jury?
Why did I propose my own death penalty?
Do I know that I know nothing?

Is something good because it is the will of the gods?
Or is it the will of the gods because it is good?
Doe piety follow the good or the gods?

Why is there a difference between the rebel and law abiding citizen?
Why does so many people tell me
Prestige and money isn't as precious as thought of commonly?

Why am I found guilty by the majority?
Why did I propose my own death penalty?
Why didn't I defend myself successfully?
Why did I before I died warn the jury?
Why can't I stop talking and buggin?
Why are you listening and still asking?
Why are you still breathing?
Why am I?
Must have a reason

"Why? Why?
He kept asking why?
That's why more and more people wanted him to die!"
