Cain slew Abel, Seth knew not why |
|
For if the children of Israel suppose to multiply |
|
Why must any of the children die? |
|
So he asked the Lord and the Lord said |
|
"Man means nothing he means less to me |
|
Than the lowliest cactus flower or the humblest yucca tree |
|
He chases round this desert 'cause he thinks that's where I'll be |
|
That's why I love mankind" |
|
I recoil in horror from the foulness of thee |
|
From the squalor and the filth and the misery |
|
How we laugh up here in Heaven, prayers you offer me |
|
That's why I love mankind |
|
The Christians and the Jews were having a jamboree |
|
The Buddhists and the Hindus joined on satellite TV |
|
They picked their four greatest priests |
|
And they began to speak |
|
They said "Lord the plague is on the world |
|
Lord no man is free |
|
The temples that we built to you have tumbled into the sea |
|
Lord, if you won't take care of us |
|
Won't you please please let us be?" |
|
And the Lord said |
|
And the Lord said |
|
"I burn down your cities, how blind you must be |
|
I take from you, your children and you say how blessed are we |
|
You all must be crazy to put your faith in me |
|
That's why I love mankind, you really need me |
|
That's why I love mankind" |
