god's song (that's why i love mankind)

cain slew abel

seth knew not why

for if the children of israel are supposed to multiply

why must any children die?

so he asked the lord

and the lord said

man means nothing

he means even less to me

than the lowliest cactus flower

or the humblest yucca tree

chases round the desert

chasing after me

thinks he might find me but

lord that's why i love mankind

so stupid

i recoil in horror at the fondness of thee

from the squalor and the filth are your misery

how we laugh up here in heaven at the prayers you offer me

that is why i just love mankind

the christians and the jews

they had a great big jamboree

the buddhists and the hindus joined in on satellite tv

they picked their four greatest priests

they began to speak; they said

plague is on the world

lord

no man is free

the temples that we built to you

they just tumble into the sea

lord

if you won't take care of us

please

let us be?

and the lord said

and the lord said

i burn down your cities; how blind you must be

i take away your children; you say: how blessed are we

you all must be crazy to god in there to put your faith in a man like me

that's why i love mankind

that is why i love

that's why i love you mankind
