Spoken:

The value of a short-term result

Pales in comparison to that of goodwill

Verse 1:
G        G7                          Em
Immanuel Kant said that we should be good to each other
   C                      D
As we would be good to ourselves
      G7.                    Am
Treat people as ends and not means
                Bm                     B7
If the murderer asks after family you tell
B7
The truth to him


    Am           G
The structure is kind
    B7          Em
The intention so sweet
      C            D           G   G7  Gm7
So in his eyes I'd say that he won
        Am   Bm
But for me
    G7   Em
You see
     Am              D
It's never quite done

Chorus:
Am               G
Trees lose their leaves
          B7      Em
When they flower I grieve
    C          D            G   G7  Gm7  G6
And everything always feels wrong
    Am              D
The state kills the innocent
B7          E
God picks on Job
    Am        D       G
And boys take away my songs

Because any desirable trait can be turned undesirable

Or future "evil"

No trait can be seen as the source of goodness

Instead, goodwill itself is the essence of goodness

And remains the essence of goodness regardless of its outcome

This is why one should act according to the categorical imperative

Verse 2:
          G                     Em
Well it's rained for three days straight
                  Am
And I wouldn't be off to suggest
      D
It'll rain for three more
   G
We open the window
       Em
To get some fresh air
       Am                          D
But it makes the whole room just a little bit colder
    Am             G
And what's on your mind?
        B7
Are you low?
        Em
Are you high?
      C          D           G   G7  Gm7  G6
Are you having a pretty good run?
    Am         G
What's on your mind
           B7        Em
Would you like to try mine?
      C           D           G   G7  Gm7  G6
For me it's never quite done

Chorus:
Am               G
Trees lose their leaves
          B7      Em
When they flower I grieve
    C          D            G   G7  Gm7  G6
And everything always feels wrong
    Am              D
The state kills the innocent
B7          E
God picks on Job
    Am        D       G
And boys take away my songs

Spoken:

God does not owe the special treatment that Deontology reserves for people

And if God's law is unjust

Then Deontology would demand acting against it

Regardless of the consequences

Neither Kant nor Tronto hold that Job's God is the authority on goodness

Chorus:
Am               G
Trees lose their leaves
          B7      Em
When they flower I grieve
    C          D            G   G7  Gm7  G6
And everything always feels wrong
    Am              D
The state kills the innocent
B7          E
God picks on Job
    Am        D       G
And boys take away my songs

Spoken:
(nc)
It is up to people to define what is ought to be done

And to do what they can to carry these good actions out

Even if the god they live under disagrees

And even if it means that the system must be changed
