Whatever Happened To Sin Lyrics - Singles - Steve Taylor

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?
