Cain slew Abel Seth knew not why[00:00:11]
For if the children of Israel were to multiply[00:00:18]
Why must any of the children die[00:00:27]
So he asked the Lord[00:00:34]
And the Lord said[00:00:37]
Man means nothing he means less to me[00:00:41]
Than the lowliest cactus flower[00:00:49]
Or the humblest Yucca tree[00:00:53]
He chases round this desert[00:00:57]
Cause he thinks that’s where I’ll be[00:01:01]
That’s why I love mankind[00:01:06]
I recoil in horror from the foulness of thee[00:01:15]
From the squalor and the filth and the misery[00:01:24]
How we laugh up here in heaven at the prayers you offer me[00:01:32]
That’s why I love mankind[00:01:41]
The Christians and the Jews were having a jamboree[00:01:53]
The Buddhists and the Hindus joined on satellite TV[00:02:01]
They picked their four greatest priests[00:02:09]
And they began to speak[00:02:13]
They said Lord a plague is on the world[00:02:15]
Lord no man is free[00:02:21]
The temples that we built to you[00:02:25]
Have tumbled into the sea[00:02:29]
Lord if you won’t take care of us[00:02:33]
Won’t you please please let us be[00:02:36]
And the Lord said[00:02:40]
And the Lord said[00:02:44]
I burn down your cities how blind you must be[00:02:51]
I take from you your children and you say how blessed are we[00:02:59]
You all must be crazy to put your faith in me[00:03:07]
That’s why I love mankind[00:03:16]
You really need me[00:03:21]
That’s why I love mankind[00:03:25]
