A preacher shuns his brother
|
Cause his bride's a different color
|
And this is not acceptable
|
His papa taught him so
|
It was love that he'd been preaching
|
But this was overreaching
|
The boundaries stretchin' further
|
Than his heart would choose to go
|
|
Like an angel with no wings
|
Like a kingdom with no king
|
|
(chorus 1)
|
What have we become?
|
A self indulgent people
|
What have we become?
|
Tell me where are the righteous ones?
|
What have we become?
|
In a world degenerating
|
What have we become?
|
|
(chorus 2)
|
Speak your mind, look out for yourself
|
The answer to it all is a life of wealth
|
Grab all you can cause you live just once
|
You got the right to do whatever you want
|
Don't worry about others or where you came from
|
It ain't what you were, it's what you have become
|
|
Mom and Dad are fightin'
|
As Rosie lies there crying
|
For once again she's overheard
|
Regrets of their mistake
|
With Christmas bells a-ringing
|
Little Rosie'd leave them grieving The gift she'd give her family
|
Would be the pills she'd take
|
|
An inconvenient child
|
She wasn't worth their while
|
|
(repeat choruses 1 and 2)
|
|
What about love?
|
What about God?
|
What about holiness?
|
What about mercy, compassion and selflessness?
|
|
You know it's true
|
He is there for me and you
|
Doesn't matter what you do
|
|
(repeat chorus 1)
|
|
What have we become?
|
Have we come undone?
|
What have we become?
|
Have we come undone?
|
What have we become?
|
|
(repeat chorus 2)
|
|
Selfish... ???
|
With selfish... ???
|
Selfish people
|
When you gonna learn?
|
Everyone of us
|
Gathered 'round in trust
|
What have we become?
