Before We Thought
We look back to our yesterdays and wonder why the times have changed
Values and morals are now decayed and our lives are rearranged
We were the ones who allowed the change when battles should have been fought
It was there when we walked away and turned our heads before we thought.
Entertainment had to meet standards before a show could start
We are now presented garbage, all in the name of art
You cannot blame society for a world that’s filled with fools
Society is you and I. We are the ones who set the rules
Eventually the apathy will knock us to the floor
Tearfully we look back and say it’s not like it was before
Our parents would not allow trash in our music or our towns
Our congress would have better served their people as circus clowns
What happened to the world we knew, answers are being sought
We liberalized a once strong nation, destroying it before we thought.
Puritanical rule is not the answer as the nation comes undone
But stop violating the rights of the masses, to protect the rights of one.
We were built on Christian values and freedom of choice, or maybe we forgot
With liberals manipulating what was written, it’ll be gone before we thought.
