Morality Is Vanity Lyrics - Momus

Nobody is evil, nobody is good 

All the guilty people have misunderstood 

It's really nothing personal 

You shouldn't blame yourself 

The crimes are irreversible 

The life sentence is death 

So here we are again in cabaret 

At the cave of the Golden Calf 

Sensitive flowers stay at home tonight 

We are playing for the others 

The ones given to pleasures 

The ones who still remember how to laugh 

A problem is no problem after all 

In the noise and smoke of the music hall 

And if you get no joy from music hall 

Remember there is always alcohol 

And if you get no joy from gin 

Here is the abyss: jump in! 

Seven million people died in the great war 

A bout of influenza quadrupled that score 

Why pimp to posterity? 

Why should they admire us? All the heroes of Valhalla 

Weigh less than a virus 

Standing on the courthouse dome 

Justice puts her blindfold on 

Down below the innocent are strutting 

On a catwalk of shame 

This year's fashion in crime will be 

Less child abuse, more blasphemy 

Morality is vanity 

The ugly given flattery grow vain 

So here we are again in cabaret 

At the cave of the Golden Calf 

Laughing in the face of desperation 

As we spin towards the future 

At one second per second 

Like records on the pin of a phonograph 

The future is no problem after all 

In the noise and smoke of the music hall 

And if you get no joy from music hall 

Remember there is always alcohol 

And if you get no joy from gin 

Give this world a miss 

Everybody sing 

Here is the abyss: jump in!
