Moral Clarity

I well remember seeing a man who knew that he was right
He thundered how he had been blessed with twenty-twenty sight
A manic gleam was in his eye - I knew instinctively
He was intoxicated with moral clarity
With moral clarity
With moral clarity
He was intoxicated with moral clarity

He motioned me aside and shouted, "Doctor, I am proud
To be so damn' convincing and so staggeringly loud!"
I told him as he referenced some minor deity
"I think we have an awful case of moral clarity!
Of moral clarity
Of moral clarity
I think we have an awful case of moral clarity!"

I said outright I thought he might unfortunately explode
I took him out so he could shout from the far side of the road
Such was the din that I called in the Army's UXB
Who didn't feel that they could deal with moral clarity
With moral clarity
With moral clarity
They didn't feel that they could deal with moral clarity

I knew he was convinced, and as he bellowed his beliefs
I really was concerned about the status of his briefs!
It seemed he wanted everyone, including even me
To recognise the virtue of his moral clarity
His moral clarity
His moral clarity
To recognise the virtue of his moral clarity

I gave him this advice; I said, "Whichever way you lurch
To left or even right, it must be Parliament or Church."
You'll know his name as he became an eminent MP
We live in hope that they can cope with moral clarity
With moral clarity
With moral clarity
We live in hope that they can cope with moral clarity

With moral clarity
With moral clarity
We live in hope that they can cope with moral clarity
