What We Cannot Change

About how people try to change their moral compass, but will revert back to type in the end

We all have scores to settle

Every year we promise to be better men

And by the spring

All of our hopes are crushed

We see feel-good movies 

With characters whiter than white

Holier-than thou

We all know it's empty, a false life

Let's accept that we cannot change

Who the f**k should we blame

Why live any kind of holy life

When heaven and hell are the same

I've taken a vow before you all

To lead a better life, to be in awe of any god

Morally superior for a second

But even angels will fall

I need to present myself before heaven

But the moral code is skewered

It's okay to kill but not to love

So long as you bathe in holy waters

Let's accept that we cannot change

Who the f**k should we blame

Why live any kind of holy life

When heaven and hell are the same

Very blunt and straight to the point. It's true. We all make 'New Years Resolutions' but never stick to them and follow the rules of others. You have expressed it perfectly and flows very nicely.
