What Have We Become? Lyrics

"Mom and Dad are fightin' As Rosie lies there crying For once again she's overheard Regrets of their mistake With Christmas bells a-ringing Little Rosie'd leave them grieving The gift she'd give her family Would be the pills she'd take"

This is a very, very deep song, especially the part below that talks about a girl who became so depressed after hearing her parents say that, as far as they were concerned, she was an "inconvenient child" who "wasn't worth their while" that she overdosed on pills and killed herself. It makes me sad to think that any parents would have that attitude about their children, let alone to think that their child would take his or her own life because their parents are overly selfish.
