I'm not sure why it's thought the the male in the song wins the argument. She has the last word, kitten in hand, and her point is quite right.
We are - each of us - trapped in our individual consciousness. We are to be judged (by god, others, the force, whatever) on what WE do in life, not what happens external to us.
""When will you ever learn
That what happens there beyond the glass
Is simply none of your concern?
God has given you but one heart
You are not a home for the hearts of your brothers"
The rights and wrong of other people's actions have no bearing at all on what we do in life. So long as your own actions are right, all is well.
"And God does not care for your benevolence
Anymore than he cares for the lack of it in others"
Morality isn't about going out of your way to help others, it's about not doing wrong things or making bad decisions. Helping others is good, but it's not what's important.
"Nor does he care for you to sit
At windows in judgment of the world he created"
In other words: get your own ship in order before looking over that of other people!
If anything she makes his argument look stupid. her tears are probably because he doesn't get it. His smile may be because actually he does. He's just enjoying being depressed. lol
