"Whatever Happened To Sin"

by Steve Taylor
Album: The Best We Could Find [ 3 That Never Escaped]

A Christian counsellor wrote, quote: "It's 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 adlib, 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,
If the Lord don't care and he chooses to ignore-a, tell it to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Call it just an alternate lifestyle, huh' - Morality lies within,
Consciences are resting,
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 ringing from the throne of gold, but you 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 'em, but they're gonna make him a liar,
Well, he's a good ole boy who was born and raised in the buckle of 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 supporting, tell 'em that you're born again,
Whatever happened to sin'
