This song can be summed up in two existental word "Either\Or". You can choose the aestetic life or the moral life. It break through the threshold of relativism. It passes by Marucs Aurelius and Epictetus, the king and the slave morality as a reaction towards scepticism. Instead of material ceiling, a trascendental choice. "You are gonna have to to serve somebody/It may be the devil or it may be the Lord/But you're gonna have to serve somebody". While i can see Cato humming this to wayfarers as they come to the shores of purgatory. It clearly belongs in the the heaven due to its light and wisedom. Its is more about the advent of the word, and active wisedom which the indolent should heed.
