What Keeps Mankind Alive? (2001 Remastered Version) - Pet Shop Boys (宠物店男孩)[00:00:00]

Written by：Bertholt Brecht/Kurt Weill[00:00:02]

You gentlemen who think you have a mission[00:00:20]

To purge us of the seven deadly sins[00:00:24]

Should first sort out the basic food position[00:00:28]

Then start your preaching that's where it begins[00:00:31]

You lot who preach restraint and watch your waist as well[00:00:36]

Should learn for all time how the world is run[00:00:40]

However much you twist whatever lies you tell[00:00:43]

Food is the first thing morals follow on[00:00:47]

So first make sure that those who now are starving[00:00:51]

Get proper helpings when we all start carving[00:00:55]

What keeps mankind alive the fact that millions[00:01:01]

Are daily tortured stifled punished silenced oppressed[00:01:05]

Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance[00:01:09]

At keeping its humanity repressed[00:01:13]

For once you must not try to shirk the facts[00:01:18]

Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts[00:01:26]

You say the girls may strip with your permission[00:01:32]

You draw the line dividing art from sin[00:01:36]

So first sort out the basic food position[00:01:40]

Then start your preaching that's where it begins[00:01:43]

You lot who bank on your desires and our disgust[00:01:48]

Should learn for all time how the world is run[00:01:52]

Whatever lies you tell however much you twist[00:01:55]

Food is the first thing morals follow on[00:01:59]

So first make sure that those who now are starving[00:02:03]

Get proper helpings when we all start carving[00:02:07]

What keeps mankind alive the fact that millions[00:02:13]

Are daily tortured stifled punished silenced oppressed[00:02:17]

Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance[00:02:21]

At keeping its humanity repressed[00:02:25]

For once you must not try to shirk the facts[00:02:30]

Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts[00:02:38]

Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance[00:02:51]

At keeping its humanity repressed[00:02:55]

For once you must not try to shirk the facts[00:03:00]

Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts[00:03:08]
