God's Song |
| 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 |
| They 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 said |
| The 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» |
