What Have We Become?

A preacher shuns his brother
'Cuz his bride's a different color
And this is not acceptable
His papa taught him so
It was love that he'd be preachin
But this was overreachin
The boundaries stretchin
Farther 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 the righteous ones
What have we become
In a world degenerating
What have become

Speak your mind look out for yourself
The answer to it all is a life of wealth
Grab all you can cause you just live 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 there crying
For once again she's overheard
Regrets of their mistake
Christmas bells are ringing
Little rosie leaves them grieving
The gift she'll give her family
Will be the pills she'd take

An inconvenient child
She wasn't wortht their while

What about love?
What about god?
What about holiness?
What about mercy, compassion and
Selflessness?
