Steve Taylor - Whatever Happened to Sin? lyrics

A Christian counselor wrote, quote, "It's the only human 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 (woah) 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 ringing From the throne of gold But you never got the message (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 supporting Tell 'em that you're born again Whatever happened to sin?
