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.
