7 Make no mistake about this: You can never make a fool out of God. Whatever you plant is what you'll harvest. 8 If you plant in the soil of your corrupt nature, you will harvest destruction. But if you plant in the soil of your spiritual nature, you will harvest everlasting life. - Gal 6:7-9 (GW)
All they have eyes for is the fashionable god of darkness. They think he can give them what they want, and that they won't have to bother believing a Truth they can't see. They're stone-blind to the dayspring brightness of the Message that shines with Christ, who gives us the best picture of God we'll ever get. - 2 Cor 4:4 (THE MESSAGE) There are times I feel as if I’m living most of my life in airports. After seven days and 21 trips on those moving sidewalks, it really starts to jack with you. However, it is a great place to grab a semi-accurate read on the current pulse of culture; that is, if you’re looking for it.
I remember running through the “A” terminal of the Cincinnati Airport, voice recorder in hand, writing this song. It was definitely one of those out-of-left-field, I-didn’t-see-this-coming sort of scenarios. I honestly can’t remember if there was a specific event that spurred on the lyric. I think it was more of a culmination of events at the time. It seemed as if every flat-panel, magazine, newspaper, and over-heard conversation had to do with fingers being pointed in the wrong direction. Me included.
We all want off the hook. We hate having to face our own issues and suck up the blame for the way things turn out. The disconnect happens when the elapsing of time kicks in a bizarre case of memory lapse and we deny the trail of debris that is clearly left in our wake. We live in an age of convenient selective memory where the innocents pay for our sins. We dodge, manipulate and conspire in order to shake any responsibility for the milk covering our placemat. Loop-holes and perception have now become an assumed, accepted mode of survival. When will we learn how evil and temporary this way of life is? Truth has a way of surfacing, and soon we’ll all have to face it --- no matter how much time has separated us from it. We all scream for change, but change will never make an exception for our rules of self-preservation. It demands truth in order to take effect.
Lyrics

WE ARE
THE SUM OF OUR CHOICES
THE ECHO OF VOICES
WE TAKE TO HEART
WE ARE
DENIABLY SHAMELESS
CONVENIENTLY BLAMELESS
PLAYING OUR PARTS
WE MAKE OUR BEDS
WE TAKE OUR CUES
WE FILL OUR HEADS
THEN MAKE OUR MOVES
BUT WHEN IT ALL GIVES WAY
AND ALL OUR THEORIES CAVE
WE BLAME EVERYONE…EVERYONE
EVERYONE BUT OURSELVES
WE BLAME EVERYONE…WE TURN AND RUN
IT’S ALWAYS SOMEBODY ELSE
WELL, I’M NOT BUYIN’ IT
YEAH, I’M SICK OF BUYIN’ IT
WE ARE
THE PRODIGAL CHILDREN
SO FEARFUL OF LOSIN’
THE WORLD WE WANT
WHERE ARE
THE SOLDIERS OF HONOR
THE FATHERS WHO’LL FIGHT FOR
THE WORLD WE’VE LOST
WE LEAVE OUR BEDS
WE MISS OUR CUES
WE TURN OUR HEADS
THEN FAKE OUR MOVES
AND WHEN IT ALL GIVES WAY
AND SONS AND DAUGHTERS STRAY
CHORUS
WE WANNA OWN IT ALL EXCEPT THE BLAME
WE WANNA HOLD IT ALL, WITHOUT THE SHAME
WE WANNA CHANGE IT ALL WITHOUT THE CHANGE
WE WANNA OWN IT ALL
WE WANNA HOLD IT ALL
AND BLAME EVERYONE…EVERYONE
EVERYONE BUT OURSELVES
CHANGE WILL NEVER COME…NEVER COME
BLAMIN’ SOMEBODY ELSE
WE’VE GOTTA QUIT BUYIN’ IT
WE’VE GOTTA GET SICK OF BUYIN’ IT
