letra de the trial and death of socrates - the amoeba people
well he was brought before the court in 399 b.c
and he was charged with corrupting the youth
he was sentenced to death for his impiety
but his only crime was that he spoke the truth
[chorus]
socrates, oh socrates
the athenians simply couldn’t bring you to your knees
the figured if they could k!ll the man then they could stop his ways
and them low down dirty rotten grecian scoundrels
who cast their wicked votes in their comfortable sandals
laid socrates in his grave
the oracle it claimed he was the wisest man alive
so he set out to prove it wrong
but every wise man that he met was filled with arrogance and pride
and he found that he just could not play along
[chorus]
a wise man, he said, is not a man who claims he’s wise
but a man who admits what he does not know
and man of high esteem is far less likely to be wise
than a simple man who is considered low
[chorus]
so they cast their votes and they voted for death
it seemed a crime against the very universe
but before he drank that hemlock he said, all is as i’ve said
for a better man can’t be hurt by a worse
[chorus]
