Song Description

Questioning society and the failure for people to take responsibility for their own actions

Lyrics

What Have We Become

Our innocence is gone stripped away by the years
Death and destruction in the news everyday
It used to be so horrific but now it's commonplace
And it's not safe to walk alone at night

Living in prisons we call homes
Behind steel bars and security screens
When I was a kid my parents didn't even lock the house
Flyscreens maybe but no, no steel bars

The winds may have blown
And the times they may have changed
But what have we become
What have we become

People go out and get drunk at bars
Then drive home and crash their cars
But it's not their fault so some lawyer says
We'll sue the owner of the bar
What about taking responsibility for your own damn stupidity
Where's our sense of right, and wrong

The winds may have blown
And the times they may have changed
But what have we become
What have we become

It's up to us each and everyone
To make the world a better place
So where, where are we going

There was a time when integrity and honesty meant so much
A time when deals were done and sealed on nothing more than a handshake
But now there's litigation for even an honest mistake
Are we so numb that we just don't see what we've become


The winds may have blown
And the times they may have changed
But what have we become
What have we become

And where, where are we going
