God's Song (That's Why I Love Mankind) - Randy Newman[00:00:00]
Written by:Randy Newman[00:00:02]
Cain slew Abel Seth knew not why[00:00:14]
For if the children of Israel were to multiply[00:00:21]
Why must any of the children die[00:00:29]
So he asked the lord[00:00:35]
And the lord said[00:00:38]
Man means nothing he means less to me[00:00:41]
Than the lowliest cactus flower[00:00:48]
Or the humblest yucca tree[00:00:52]
He chases round this desert[00:00:57]
'Cause he thinks that's where I'll be[00:01:00]
That's why I love mankind[00:01:05]
I recoil in horror from the foulness of thee[00:01:12]
From the squalor and the filth and the misery[00:01:20]
How we laugh up here in heaven[00:01:27]
At the prayers you offer me[00:01:31]
That's why I love mankind[00:01:36]
The Christians and the Jews were having a jamboree[00:01:47]
The Buddhists and the Hindus joined on satellite TV[00:01:54]
They picked their four greatest priests[00:02:01]
And they began to speak[00:02:05]
They said lord a plague is on the world[00:02:07]
Lord no man is free[00:02:12]
The temples that we built to you[00:02:16]
Have tumbled into the sea[00:02:20]
Lord if you won't take care of us[00:02:23]
Won't you please please let us be[00:02:26]
And the lord said[00:02:30]
And the lord said[00:02:33]
I burn down your cities[00:02:39]
How blind you must be[00:02:42]
I take from you your children and[00:02:46]
You say how blessed are we[00:02:48]
You all must be crazy to put your faith in me[00:02:54]
That's why I love mankind[00:03:03]
You really need me[00:03:07]
That's why I love mankind[00:03:12]
