Liquid - What Have We Become? lyrics

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

(Oh oh) like an angel with no wings
(Oh oh oh, oh oh)
Like a kingdom with no king

What have we become?
Ooh, self indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones, yeah?
What have we become? In a world degenerating
Oh, oh, What have we become?

Speak your mind, look out for yourself
(Oh-whoa-whoa oh)
The answer to it all is a life of wealth
(Oh-whoa-whoa oh)
Grab all you can cause you live just once
(Oh-whoa-whoa oh)
You got the right to do whatever you want
(Oh-whoa-whoa) don't worry about others or
Where you came from (Oh-whoa-whoa oh)
It ain't what you were
It's what you have become (Oh-whoa-whoa oh)

Mom and Dad are fightin'
While Rosie lies there crying
For once again she's overheard
Regrets of their mistake
With Christmas bells a-ringing (Ding, dong)
Little Rosie'd leave them grieving
(Ding, dong) the gift she'd give her family
Would be the pills she'd take

(Oh oh) inconvenient child (Oh oh oh, oh oh)
She wasn't worth their while

What have we become?
Oh, 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
(yeah, Oh-whoa-whoa oh)
The answer to it all is a life of wealth
(Oh-whoa-whoa oh)
Grab all you can cause you live just once
(Oh-whoa-whoa oh)
You got the right to do whatever you want
(Oh-whoa-whoa) don't worry about others or
Where you came from (Oh-whoa-whoa oh)
It ain't what you were
It's what you have become (Oh-whoa-whoa oh)

What about love? (Oh, oh, oh, oh oh)
What about God? (Oh, oh, oh, oh oh)
What about holiness? (Oh, oh, oh, oh oh)
(Ah, ah, ah, ahhh)

What have we become?
Ooh, self indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones?
What have we become?
In a world degenerating (Oh, oh)

Oh-whoa-whoa oh, Oh-whoa-whoa oh
What have we become? Have we come undone?
Oh-whoa-whoa, Oh-whoa-whoa oh
What have we become? Have we come undone?
Oh-whoa-whoa oh (Oh, oh)

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 folks with selfish goals
Selfish people when you gonna learn?
Everyone of us gotta learn to trust
What have we become?
