the morality of a song

To judge the morality of a song, or any other work of art, we must look at its intent. An immoral intent will usually reveal itself in one of three ways:

1.The work may blatantly preach a message;
2.The Work may attempt to cause an audience to empathize with a certain message; or
3.The work may present an unbalanced or disproportionate view of good and evil.
