Golden Rule from Wilmington Optimist by Danny and the Darlings

Baby tell me bout your morals
Where did you get them?
Are they inherited?
Did you invent them?

Is it the rules god wrote
Or your own Cowboy Code?

And we want you to sleep well tonight

Let me see your nervous system
It’s what’s holy inside you
We contain the multitudes
And they contain us too

Went to university
To learn different ways to pray

And we want you to sleep well tonight

If by definition you’re omnipotent
Maybe you can help me with this question that I have
Why would you even give a shit
About some fucking golden calf?

Hammurabi
The sheriff of Babylon
Justice or virtue do you seek?
Truth or compassion?

You can use it as a guide
But goodness comes from inside

And we want you to sleep well tonight
