lyrics:
Verse 1
A preacher shuns his brother
Cause his bride's a different color
And this is not acceptable
His Papa thaught him so
It was love that he'd been preaching
But this was overreaching
The boundaries stretched further
Than his heart would choose to go
Pre-Chorus
Like an angel with no wings
Like a kingdom with no king
Chorus
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 degenarating
What have we become
Interlude (ah oa oaoh, ah oa oao)
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 one
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
Verse 2
Mom and Dad are fighting
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
Pre-Chorus
An inconvenient child
She wasn't worth their while
Chorus
Interlude (ah oa oaoh, ah oa oao)
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 one
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
Don't worry about others
Or where you came from
It ain't what you were
It's what you have become
Bridge
What about love? (what about love, what about love?)
What about God? (what about God,what about God?)
What about holiness? (what about,what about,what about,what about?)
What about mercy, compassion and selflessness?
You know true
His is there for me and you
Doesen't matter what you do
CHORUS
Interlude (ah oa oaoh, ah oa oao)
What have we become?
Have we come undone? (Oo na na na na...)
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 one
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
Outro
Selfish goal
This selfish goal
Selfish people
When you gonna learn?
Ev'ry one of us
Gotta learn to trust
What have we become?
