[00:11.28] Cain slew Abel Seth knew not why
[00:18.97] For if the children of Israel were to multiply
[00:27.46] Why must any of the children die
[00:34.03] So he asked the Lord
[00:37.78] And the Lord said
[00:41.72] Man means nothing he means less to me
[00:49.90] Than the lowliest cactus flower
[00:53.59] Or the humblest Yucca tree
[00:57.84] He chases round this desert
[01:01.78] Cause he thinks that’s where I’ll be
[01:06.84] That’s why I love mankind
[01:13.58]
[01:15.45] I recoil in horror from the foulness of thee
[01:24.01] From the squalor and the filth and the misery
[01:30.70]
[01:32.08] How we laugh up here in heaven at the prayers you offer me
[01:41.02] That’s why I love mankind
[01:50.08]
[01:53.89] The Christians and the Jews were having a jamboree
[02:01.59] The Buddhists and the Hindus joined on satellite TV
[02:09.59] They picked their four greatest priests
[02:13.28] And they began to speak
[02:15.65] They said Lord a plague is on the world
[02:21.15] Lord no man is free
[02:25.16] The temples that we built to you
[02:29.15] Have tumbled into the sea
[02:33.28] Lord if you won’t take care of us
[02:36.34] Won’t you please please let us be
[02:40.34] And the Lord said
[02:42.35]
[02:44.15] And the Lord said
[02:45.72]
[02:51.15] I burn down your cities how blind you must be
[02:59.34] I take from you your children and you say how blessed are we
[03:07.90] You all must be crazy to put your faith in me
[03:16.97] That’s why I love mankind
[03:21.53] You really need me
[03:24.85]
[03:25.72] That’s why I love mankind
[00:11.28] Cain slew Abel Seth knew not why
[00:18.97] For if the children of Israel were to multiply
[00:27.46] Why must any of the children die
