What Have We Become (10th Anniversary Version)
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
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 fightin'
As Rosie lies there crying
For once again she's overheard
Regrets of their mistake
With Christmas bells a ringing
Little Rosie did 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
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
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
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?
What have we become?
Have we come undone?
What have we become?
Have we come undone?
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
Selfish with selfish Selfish people, when you gonna learn?
Everyone of us gathered 'round in trust
What have we become?
'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
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 fightin'
As Rosie lies there crying
For once again she's overheard
Regrets of their mistake
With Christmas bells a ringing
Little Rosie did leave them grieving
The gift she'd give her family

What have we become?
A self indulgent people, what have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones?
