the trolley problem and the illusion of choice - psycic lyrics
[verse 1]
welcome to the joker express, i hope that you know that your blessed
life is a gift, its exiting to exist, this is a test
a quizz a game night, however you wanna call it
this train ride will be enlightening and yes this is a recording
we ain’t live, u can’t help in real time but that won’t matter
cause the goal of this game, is to get to know youself better
the outcome will be the same, spoiler: someone is gonna be dead
i can’t hear what you say, only you will know how you decide in the end
and yes i mean you behind the screen, no you can’t hide from me
i want you to decide between two sides and see
how you would act in this predicament? yes this is an experiment
so let me start by introducing our first partic*p*nt
[verse 2 a]
lets meet henry, a proud grandpa, 75 years old
he believes in conspiracy theories, they think hes a weirdo
no hate, but his old age got him stuck in his ways
you can argue with him for hours, but hes not gonna change
he is really religious, cause he has sins that he can’t heal
living that long will result in collecting scars inevitably
his heart got broken twice, first when he lost his wife
and then when his daughter k!lled herself after her husband died
now henry has to take care of her 4 little сhildren
he loves to play with them, they say the boredom will k!ll them
so he amuses them as good as he can when hes not occupied
but sadly that happens rearly, cause henry works over time
hes the executive of a company that is slowly going broke
they have hundred employees but a few already had to go
they depend on him and the children are too young to take over the buisness
but the stress he suffered for years is manifesting as sickness
henry makes just enough money, so the kids can have a healthy life
but it isnt cheap, so henry ignores his needs as a sacrifice
that was everything you need to know, we can proceed
so let me introduce the second contestant that you gon’ meet
[verse 2b]
shes a 14 year old girl, her name is bella
she is gorgeous, but her innocence faded when her
mother was raped and bella had to watch her die
cause mom was trying to protect her child, who was only 9
but bella still got assaulted, her protectress was k!lled
leaving the kid with severe ptsd and guilt
she stole a firearm and practiced with it after that event
cause she wouldn’t let that ever happen to her again
now back in the present, the girl is doing bad at school
she is getting bullied, until the afternoon
and then she gets home and all this misery won’t stop
cause her father is an abusive alcoholic, that can’t find a job
even worse, he’s a gambling addict, they barely have money
so bella helps out financially by selling her body
if she isn’t already, then she will get pregnant soon
becoming an author was her only dream, but that was abandoned too
she developed aggression issues, bullies and beats up smaller students was it her class or her father who taught her how to abuse kids?
crime, violence, intimacy, she even tried some drugs
but she still can’t escape the suicidal and homicidal thoughts
[verse 3 a]
we develop a set of believes, when we grow up/
most of them never get challenged after our curiosity stops/
we engaged in new behavior when we were children/
but that ended when we developed a sense of cynicism/
fear of the unknown, so we stay here in the comfort zone/
but life isn’t exiting when all u see is all you know/
so my job is to put these believes to the test/
forcing u to reflect and question the actions resting in the past/
im talking about morality, a fragile word/
morality is the biggest lie i ever heard/
how can we judge between whose better or worse/
ur lesser worth when ur trapped in a curse, that is absurd/
this is an exercise in empathy, we are here to train
im ur coach, triage is what we’re gon’ play
lets see how judgmental you are, considering who deserves more to be dead
but lets not lose track of the situation ahead/
[verse 3 b]
we are speedin with 200 miles per hours into a dead end/
so u have to act fast if u dont want to end dead/
the other passengers would thank you too, we can not stop/
the trains breaks malfunctioned, its not slowing down fast enough/
so we got two options: we can go left or move right/
and hey im such a bad ruthless guy, that i let you decide/
this ain’t too good to be true, theres a catch/
bella and henry are respectively tied to one of the tracks /
[verse 3 c]
if we go right then henry will painfully die/
and the same fate awaits bella if u choose the other side/
the good news is that they’re body mass will slow us down quick/
and we’ll get home safely, with no one knowing who u chose to outlive/
not even me, only if u want to tell me, but thats not relevant
we’re running out of time, the track is coming to an end
if u need more time feel free to pause or rewind
or read the lyrics again, but u gotta decide
(left or right)
(left or right)
