It's An Ethical Paradox

[Verse 1]
Step right up to the paradox parade,
Where the morals they sell come double-edged blade.
They wag their fingers, legislate laws,
Then break ’em in private to polite applause.

It’s a sugar-spun circus, bananas on stage,
Where yes means no and restraint’s just a phrase.
Marriage or market, they blur the scene,
Stamp it “righteous”, don’t ask what it means.

[Chorus]
It’s an ethical paradox, an oxymoron maze,
They shame what they need, still demand it gets praise.
They swear it’s love, then they pay for the kiss,
Condemn the same trade they refuse to resist.

[Verse 2]
In the chapel it’s sacred, divinely endowed,
In the alley it’s vulgar, condemned out loud.
One buys a mattress, one buys a ring,
Different costumes, same bargaining.

They preach purity, polish the lie,
While need’s the product they monetize.
Suit and tie or a scarlet brand,
Same old hustle… supply, demand.

[Chorus]
It’s an ethical paradox, an oxymoron maze,
They shame what they need, still demand it gets praise.
They swear it’s love, then they pay for the kiss,
Condemn the same trade they refuse to resist.

[Bridge]
Here’s a riddle, let logic stew:
Who makes the crime, then blames it on you?
They build the cage, lock the lid,
Then curse the creature they forbid.

[Verse 3]
Russell saw it, cut clean through the fog,
Truth gets strangled by moral smog.
Love’s not a contract, priced or policed,
It’s a living thing begging for release.

Burn the scripts that barter the heart,
Let freedom finish what law couldn’t start.
No paradox, no moral sleight,
Just justice breathing in open light.

[Chorus]
It’s an ethical paradox, an oxymoron maze,
They shame what they need, still demand it gets praise.
They swear it’s love, then they pay for the kiss,
Condemn the same trade they refuse to resist.

[Outro]
Fold up the map, walk out the maze,
No room for riddles in love’s next phase.
The ethical circus packs up its tent,
Let truth be simple, that’s how it’s meant.
