Thats a Sin

A whole new twist to the same old story Evil scientist in their laboratories Creating monsters that live in the night I often reflect on mankind's plight As mankind drifts further from his soul We seek things to fill the hole The path of lies forever bends Truth is straight and narrow my friends As I see it getting bent in every way I simply find myself compelled to pray What will become of our sons and daughters Will their souls be led to slaughter As scientist seek out another way To disprove what the bible has to say Trillions spent in search of a ghost Another theory of true reproach Rainbow stars now fill the skies I wonder what is hidden inside their lies We can now place a robot up on Mars But can't help the drunk at the local bar Trillions more spent on a new space station But we can't feed the hungry right here in our nation Seems to me before we go further conquering space We should maybe try to help out the human race Our quest for knowledge has drove us insane We are now so smart we don't use our brain Our nation was founded "In God We Trust" Our government says "Let it be covered in dust" Even this lowly creature up out of the pen Knows in his heart that thats a sin
