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

[00:14.90] Cain slew Abel, Seth knew not why [00:20.72] For if the children of Israel suppose to multiply [00:27.74] Why must any of the children die? [00:34.87] So he asked the Lord and the Lord said [00:40.54] "Man means nothing he means less to me [00:48.23] Than the lowliest cactus flower or the humblest yucca tree [00:55.43] He chases round this desert 'cause he thinks that's where I'll be [01:04.05] That's why I love mankind" [01:11.84] I recoil in horror from the foulness of thee [01:19.09] From the squalor and the filth and the misery [01:27.02] How we laugh up here in Heaven, prayers you offer me [01:35.82] That's why I love mankind [01:40.76] [01:46.99] The Christians and the Jews were having a jamboree [01:54.13] The Buddhists and the Hindus joined on satellite TV [02:01.20] They picked their four greatest priests [02:04.66] And they began to speak [02:07.13] They said "Lord the plague is on the world [02:11.32] Lord no man is free [02:15.81] The temples that we built to you have tumbled into the sea [02:22.94] Lord, if you won't take care of us [02:26.29] Won't you please please let us be?" [02:29.98] And the Lord said [02:33.45] And the Lord said [02:39.01] "I burn down your cities, how blind you must be [02:46.04] I take from you, your children and you say how blessed are we [02:53.72] You all must be crazy to put your faith in me [03:01.89] That's why I love mankind, you really need me [03:11.02] That's why I love mankind"
