I Also Doubt That It Is Contingently So

Vocals: Nomy Arpaly. Guitar: David Estlund.
Lyrics by Nomy Arpaly:

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
What ethicists say
Can sound good in a way
But it ain't necessarily so

Morality trumps other oughts
Morality trumps other oughts
No rational action
Can be an infraction
Morality trumps other oughts

For eudaimonia --
You get the idea --
Be virtuous by day and night
Departures from virtue
Are all gonna hurt you
Sometimes I wanna say yeah right

We always give laws to ourselves
We always give laws to ourselves
We lose our potential
For being agential
When we break them laws from ourselves

I say it ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
I'll say it though, frankly
They'll stare at me blankly
It ain't necessarily so
