What cha thinking doing the things you do
Whose opinion are ya listening to
Justifying you turn it all to grey
Synchronizing to society's ways
Society has gotten to be all outta wack
And don't bother with excuses whether white or black
To blame it on a color won't get a result
Because history reveals to me how ethics were lost
In reality our decency has taken a plunge
In God We Trust is an American pun
Funny how it happened so subtly
Hey-yo fellas kick the melody
Socially acceptable
It's ok, it's alright
Socially acceptable
It's ok in whose sight
Socially acceptable
Times are changing with morals in decay
Human rights have made the wrongs ok
Something's missing and if your asking me
I think that something is the G-O-D
To label wrong or right by the people's sight
Is like going to a loser to ask advice
And by basing your plans on another man's
Way of living life is creating a brand
Of ethics sure to be missin' the punch
No-count morals that are to lunch
They're sliding away because everything's ok
It was taboo back then, but today ya say "What the hey"
Socially acceptable
It's ok, it's alright
Socially acceptable
It's ok in whose sight
Socially acceptable
We gotta get back to the principles found in the Word
A little G-O-D could be socity's cure
From the state that we're living in
'Cause again we're slipping
So pray for America
Because time is ticking
Socially acceptable
It's ok, it's alright
Socially acceptable
It's ok in whose sight
Socially acceptable
