Akira The Don - You Could Leave Life Right Now lyrics

In comparing sins the way that people do
Theophrastus says those done out of desire
Are worse than those done out of anger

(Which is good philosophy)

The angry man seems to turn his back
On reason out of a
Kind of pain and inner convulsion
But the man motivated by desire
Who is mastered by pleasure
Seems somehow more self-indulgent
Less manly in his sins theophrastus is right
And philosophically sound
To say the sin committed out of pleasure
Deserves a harsher rebuke
Than the one committed out of pain
The angry man is more like a victim
Of wrongdoing provoked by pain to anger
The other man rushes into wrongdoing
On his own moved to action by desire

You could leave life right now
Let that determine what you do
And say and think
You could leave life right now
You could leave life right now
You could leave life right now
Let that determine what you do
And say and think
You could leave life right now
You could leave life right now

If the gods exist
Then to abandon human beings
Is not frightening
The gods would never subject you to harm

And if they don’t exist
Or don’t care what happens to us
What would be the point of living in a world
Without gods or Providence?

But they do exist
They do care what happens to us
And everything a person needs
To avoid real harm
They have placed within him
If there were anything harmful on
The other side of death
They would have made sure that the ability
To avoid it was within you
If it doesn’t harm your character
How can it harm your life?
Nature would not overlook such dangers
Through failing to recognize
Or because it saw them but was
Powerless to prevent or correct them
To prevent or correct them (Ey)
Nor would it ever
Through inability or incompetence
Make such a mistake as to let good and bad
Things happen indiscriminately to good
And bad alike good and bad alike
Good and bad alike

But death and life success and failure
Pain and pleasure wealth and poverty
All these happen to good and bad alike
Good and bad alike good and bad alike
Good and bad alike

But death and life success and failure
Pain and pleasure
All these happen to good and bad alike
And they are neither noble nor
Shameful and hence neither good nor bad

You could leave life right now
Let that determine what you do
And say and think
You could leave life right now
You could leave life right now
You could leave life right now
Let that determine what you do
And say and think
You could leave life right now
You could leave life right now
