Listen & view Mathilde Santing - God's Song (That's Why I Love Mankind) lyrics & tabs

Cain slew Abel
Seth knew not why
For if the children of Israel
Were to multiply
Why must any of God's children 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
He chases round this desert
'cause he thinks that's where I'll be
That's why I love mankind
But 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
- that's why I love mankind"
The Christians and the Jews
Were having a jamboree
The Buddhists and the Hindus
Joined on satellite TV
They picked their four greatest priests
And they began to speak:
"Lord, a plague is on the world
Lord no man is free
The temples we have built for you
Have all tumbled into the sea
Lord, if you won't take care of us
Won't you please let us be?
And the Lord said
The Lord said:
"I burn down your cities
How blind must you be
I take away your children and you say:
"How blessed are we!"
You all must be crazy
To put your faith in me
That's why I love mankind:
You really, really need me
That's why I love mankind"
