| 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 |
