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

Cain slew Abel, Seth knew not why
 For if the children of Israel were to multiply
 Why must any of the children
 Why must they 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
 Chases 'round the desert
 'Cause he thinks that's where I'll be
 And that's why I love mankind"
 "I recoil in horror from 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
 And that's why I love mankind"
 The Christians and the Jews were having a jamboree
 The Buddhists and the Hindus
 The Buddhists and the Hindus joined in on satellite TV
 They picked their four greatest priests
 And they began to speak
 And they said, "Lord, a plague is on the world
 Lord, no man is free
 The temples that we built to you
 Have crumbled down, fallen to the sea
 Lord, if you won't take care of us
 Please, please let us be?
 And the Lord said, and the Lord said, he said
 "I burn down your cities, how blind you must be
 I take you your children and say how blessed are we
 Now you all must be crazy to put your faith in me
 And that's why I love mankind, you really need me
 That's why I love, I love mankind"
