| Cain slew Abel, Seth knew not why |
| For if the children of Israel were to multiply |
| Why must any of the children, why must they die? |
| So he asked and the Lord and the Lord said: |
| Man means nothing, he means less to me |
| Than the lowliest cactus flower or the humblest yucca tree |
| 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 |
| At the 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 |
| Picked their four greatest priests |
| And they began to speak |
| And they said: «Lord, a plague is on the world |
| Lord, no man is free |
| The temples that we built to you |
| Have tumbled down, fell into the sea» |
| Lord, if you won’t take care of us |
| 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 must all be crazy to put your faith in me |
| That’s why I love mankind, you really need me |
| That’s why I love mankind |
