Socially Acceptable Lyrics


It's okay, it's all right
It's okay, it's alright
Yeah, here we go
D C T is in the house, boy
It's okay, it's alright
Whatcha thinking doing the things you do?
Whose opinion are ya listening to?
Justifying, you turn it all to gray
Synchronizing to society's ways
Society has gotten to be all outta whack
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 suddenly
Hey yo, fellas, kick the melody
Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right

Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight?
Socially acceptable
Times are changing with morals in decay
Human rights have made the wrongs okay
Something's missing and if you're asking me
I think that something is the G O D, yeah
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 missing the punch
No count morals that are out to lunch
They're sliding away 'cause everything is okay
It was taboo back then but today ya say, "What the hey?"
Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right
Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight?
Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right
Socially acceptable
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now, here we go, here we go
A come on, a come on
Now, here we go, here we go
A come on, a come on
Now, here we go, here we go
A come on, a come on
Now, here we go, here we go
A come on, a come on
Everybody's doin' it
Who's doin' it?
Everybody's doin' it
Yo, who's doin' it?
Everybody's doin' it
Who's doin' it?
Everybody's doin' it
Yo, yo, yo, who's doin' it?
Oh, oh, woah, alright
Oh, oh, woah, come on
We gotta back to the principles found in the Word
A little G O D could be society's cure
From the state that we're in 'cause again we're slipping
So, pray for America 'cause time is ticking
Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right
Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight?
Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right
Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight?
Socially acceptable
Socially respectable
Socially acceptable
Socially respectable

dc Talk is made up of Toby McKeehan (TobyMac), Michael Tait, and Kevin Max.

The three met while they were young men at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. They formed the band dc Talk (a reference to Washington D.C., but later marketed as 'decent Christian talk' by their label) and, as of the year 2000, spent twelve solid years together, performing all over the world, recording 6 albums, and earning many awards, including 4 Grammy awards.

Their music, aimed at a younger audience, combined hip-hop, rap, and R&B sensibilities and filled a gap in 1980s Christian Music and gave them a unique niche. Their first three albums, dc Talk, Nu Thang, and Free At Last started from their rap/hip-hop roots but increasingly included melodic vocal rock influences. Their 1995 studio album, Jesus Freak, continued this musical evolution by eshewing almost all rap elements and adopting a harder modern rock/grunge sound on many songs, especially the title track. Their most recent studio album, Supernatural, draws on their previous efforts while moving towards mainstream pop stylings.

Their signature sound in all albums is their use of the three members' different vocal skills separately and together. They are often lauded for their lyrical sophistication, addressing many themes in Christian theology, faith, and practice.

After more than ten years together as a group, they are taking a break in recording together to pursue their own activities outside of the band, and launch solo careers in recording music. Michael Tait formed his own band, Tait, and has most recently served as the frontman for Newsboys. Toby McKeehan has released music under the name TobyMac, and has been the most sucessful of the three. Kevin Max has released two solo albums of his own.
