Steve Taylor - Whatever Happened To Sin lyrics

rate me

The Christian counselor wrote, quote

"Who is the only humane choice ahead

If you can't support it

Why don't you abort it instead?"

You say you pray to the sky

Why? When you're afraid to take a stand down here

'Cause while the holy talk reads like a bad ad lib

Silence screams you were robbing the crib

Say it ain't none of my business, huh?

A woman's got a right to choose

Now a grave digger, next you pull the trigger what then?

Whatever happened to sin?

I heard the reverend say

"Gay is probably normal in the Good Lord's sight

What's to be debated?

Jesus never stated what's right"

I'm no Theology nut

But the Reverend may be a little confused

For if the Lord don't care and he chooses to ignore, ah

Tell it to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah

Call it just an alternate lifestyle, huh?

Morality lies within

Consciences are restin', please repeat the question again

Whatever happened to sin?

When the closets are empty and the clinics are full

When your eyes have been blinded by society's wool

When the streets erupt in your own backyard

You'll be on your knees praying for the National Guard

If you don't care now how the problems get solved

You can shake your head later, that you never got involved

'Cause the call came a ringing from the throne of gold

But you never got the message, never got the message

'Cause your mind's on hold

A politician next door

Swore he'd set the Washington Arena on fire

Thinks he'll gladiate them

But they're gonna make him a liar

Well, he's a good ole boy who was born and raised

In the buckle o' the Bible Belt

But remember when you step into your voting booth

He'll never lie, he'll just embellish the truth

Promises were made to be broken, right?

You've gotta play the game to win

When you need support, tell them that you born again

Whatever happened to sin?
