What Have We Become? Lyrics by LIQUID

Freaked! - A Gotee Tribute to dc Talk’s Jesus Freak

2006

[Verse 1:]
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
[Chorus:]
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?
[Hook:]
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)
[Verse 2;]
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
[Chorus]
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?
[Hook:]
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)
[Bridge]
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...)
(Saxophone solo)
[Chorus:]
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)
[Hook:]
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
[Outro:]
Selfish folks
With selfish goals
Selfish people
When you gonna learn?
Everyone of us
Gotta learn to trust
What have we become?
