Текст песни: What Have We Become? + перевод

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…)

(Saxophone solo)

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?
