Steve Taylor Lyrics
"Whatever Happened to Sin?"

A Christian counselor wrote,
Quote,
"Well, 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 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 ol' 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 them that you're born again
Whatever happened to sin?
