Whatever Happened To Sin?

Whatever Happened To Sin? (demo)

Lyrics that differ from the finished version are in bold/italics

A Christian feminist 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're watching the sky
Why?
When you're afraid to take a stand down here
'Cause if believers don't care who's robbing the crib
Maybe they can think about it during the trib

Say it ain't none of your 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'

Something inside of my head
said
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
And your eyes have been blinded by society's wool
When the streets erupt in your own backyard
You'll be on your knees praying to 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 ol' 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 got to play the game to win
When you need supporting
Tell 'em that you're born again
Whatever happened to sin?
