God's Song (That's Why I Love Mankind) Lyrics

 
Your Rating

Sail Away
 
Cain slew Abel Seth knew not why
 
For if the children of Israel were to multiply
 
Why must any of the children die?
 
So he asked the Lord
 
And the Lord said:
 
Man means nothing he means less to me
 
Than the lowliest cactus flower
 
Or the humblest Yucca tree
 
He chases round this desert
 
'Cause he thinks that's where I'll be
 
That's why I love mankind
 
I recoil in horror fro 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
 
They picked their four greatest priests
 
And they began to speak
 
They said, "Lord, a plague is on the world
 
Lord, no man is free
 
The temples that we built to you
 
Have tumbled into the sea
 
Lord, if you won't take care of us
 
Won't you 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 all must be crazy to put your faith in me
 
That's why I love mankind
 
You really need me
 
That's why I love mankind
