the places that we lived, the living that we did   the places we were put, the things we were giving   the things that they took   they took away our pride, and if they didn't   take our lives, they took away the things that made us feel alive      oooo what have we become, what have we become   oooo how did this become, how did this become      the old women reflects from the east to the west   she thinks of her grandmother and her grandfather   and the strength that they had   now she looks to the young   with all their sniffing and their drugs   the drinking that has stolen so many souls   and flooded her sacred blood      she says oooo what have we become,   what have we become   she says oooo how did this become,   how did this become      she says oooo the bottle took my son,   it took away my son   she says oooo where we going to run,   what have we become
