God's Song (That's Why I Love Mankind)
Cain slew Abel,Seth, he knew not why. For, if the children of Israel were supposed to multiply,Why must any children die? So he asked the L-rd.And the L-rd said: "Man means nothing, He means even less to me Than the lonliest cactus flower Or the homeless yucca tree. He chases round the desert hah! Chasing after me ('cause he thinks he might find me there).L-rd, that's why I love mankind(He's so stupid).I recoil in horror from the fondness of thee, From the squalor and the filth; all your misery Oh, how we laugh up here in Heaven At the praise you offer me. That is why i just love mankind hah!" The Christians and the Jews, They had a great, big jamboree. The Buddhists and the Hindus Joined in on satellite TV.Letras de cancionesThey picked the four greatest priests They began to speak.They said:"Plague is on the world L-rd, no man is free. The temples that we've built to you, They just tumbled to the sea;L-rd, if you won't take care of us, Please let us be!" And the L-rd saidThe L-ord said:"I burn down your cities:How blind you must be;I take away your children:You say how blessed are thee; Y'all must be crazy, now, men, To put your faith in a man like me: That's why I love you, mankind!That is why I you,That's why I love you, mankind!Hah, ha, ha, hah" From Letras Mania
