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 lowest cactus flower on the humblest yucca tree
Chases 'round the desert 'cause he thinks that's where I'll be
And uh, huh, that's why I love mankind
"I recoil in horror from the foulness of thee
All from the squalor and the filth and the misery
How we laugh up here, ha, in Heaven at the prayers you offer Me
And that's why I love mankind"
Oh, oh
The Christians and the Jews were having a jamboree, yeah
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 (Oh)
Lord, no man is free (Oh)
The temples that we built to You (Oh)
Have tumbled down, fell into the sea (Oh)
Lord, if You won't take care of us, please, please let us be"
And the Lord said (The Lord said)
And the Lord said (And the Lord said)
For if the children of Israel were to multiply
Why must any of the children, why must they die?
