Together but not quite
my conduct and morals upright
I see a begger on the roadside
yet I turn a blind eye
a miscreant stoning a mongrel
and I just pass them by
I know a friend mistreating his wife
all I do is ignore the whole strife
I feel the pain and suffering
still a bystander am I
my conduct and morals
together but not quite.
