God's Song (That's Why I Love Mankind)-Randy Newman

[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
