John Martyn

God's Song
Cain slew Abel, Seth knew not whyFor if the children of Israel are supposed to multiplyWhy must any children die?So he asked the LordAnd the Lord said...Man means nothing, he means even less to meThan the loneliest cactus flowerOr the humblest Yucca treeChases round the desertChasing after me, thinks he might find me butLord that's why I love mankindSo stupidI recoil in horror at the fondness of theeFrom the squalor and the filth are your miseryOh how we laugh up here in heaven at the praise you offer meThat is why I just love mankind.The Christians and the Jews, they had a great big jamboreeThe Buddhists and the Hindus joined in on satellite TVThey picked their four greatest priestsThey began to speak; they said...Plague is on the worldLord, no man is free!Letras de cancionesThe temples that we built to youThey just tumble to the seaLord, if you won't take care of usPlease, let us be?And the Lord saidAnd the Lord saidI burn down your cities; how blind you must beI take away your children; you say: how blessed are theeYou all must be crazy in there to put your faith in a man like meThat's why I love you mankindThat is why I love youThat's why I love you mankind. hahahaha....
