What Have We Become? Lyrics

A PREACHER SHUNS HIS BROTHER
CAUSE HIS BRIDE'S A DIFFERENT 
COLOR
AND THIS IS NOT EXCEPTABLE HIS PAPA
TAUGHT HIM SO
IT WAS LOVE THAT HE'D BE PREACHING,
BUT THIS WAS OVERREACHING
THE BOUNDARIES STRETCHING FUR-
THER THAN HIS HEART WOULD CHOOSE 
TO GO

LIKE AN ANGEL WITH NO WINGS
LIKE A KINGDOM WITH NO KING

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

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 FIGHTING AS ROSIE
LIES THEY'RE CRYING
BUT ONCE AGAIN SHE'S OVERHEARD
REGRETS OF THEIR MISTAKE
WITH CHRISTMAS BELLS A-RINGING
LIL' ROSIE LEAVES 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

WHAT ABOUT LOVE?
WHAT ABOUT GOD?
WHAT ABOUT HOLINESS?
WHAT ABOUT MERCY, COMPASSION AND
SELFLESSNESS?
