Verse 1:
A preacher shuns his brother
'Cause his bride's a different color
And this is not acceptable
His papa told him so
It was love that he'd been preachin'
But this was overreaching
The boundaries stretching farther
Than his heart would choose to go

Oh, oh, like an angel with no wings
Oh, oh, 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? yeah
What have we become?
In a world degenerating?
Oh, what have we become?

Rap:
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 'bout others or where you came from
It ain't what you were, it's what you've become

Verse 2:
Mom and Dad are fighting
As Rosie lies there crying
For once again she's overheard
Regrets of their mistake
When Christmas bells are ringing,
Little Rose would leave them grieving
The gift she'd give her family
Would be the pills she'd take

Oh, oh, an inconvenient child
Oh, oh, she wasn't worth their while

Chorus:
What have we become?
A self-indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me, where are the righteous ones? yeah
What have we become?
In a world degenerating?
Oh, what have we become?

Rap:
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 'bout others or where you came from
It ain't what you were, it's what you've become
Don't worry 'bout others or where you came from
It ain't what you were, it's what you've 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

Chorus:
What have we become?
A self-indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me, where are the righteous ones? yeah
What have we become?
In a world degenerating?
Oh, what have we become?

What have we become?
Have we come undone?
What have we become?
Have we come undone?
What have we become?

Rap:
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 'bout others or where you came from
It ain't what you were, it's what you've become

Selfish...
With selfish...
Selfish people
When you gonna learn?
Everyone of us
Gathered 'round in trust
What have we become?
