Randy Newman lyrics
"God's Song Lyrics"
Cain slew Abel Seth knew not why
For if the children of Israel were to multiply
Why must any of the children die?
So he asked the Lord
And the Lord said:
"Man means nothing he means less to me
than the lowiliest cactus flower
or the humblest yucca tree
he chases round this desert
that's why i love mankind
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
I'm thinking of you In my sleep They're not good thoughts The worst kind of sad I've noticed things Cannot be repaired When i wake u
They picked their four greatest priests
And they began to speak
They said "Lord the plague is on the world
Lord no man is free
The temples that we built to you
Have tumbled into the sea
Lord, if you won't take care of us
Won't you please plea
Writhen Lyrics
"To get out of smell of mould, to get back on your feet again - let every god have his day" - and again the leather is black as i lie on fragments of glas
se let us be?""To get out of smell of mould, to get back on your feet again - let every god have his day" - and again the leather is black as i lie on fragments of glas
And the Lord said
And the Lord said
"I burn down your cities--how blind you must be
I take from you your children and you say how blessed are we
You must all be crazy to put your faith in me
That's why i love mankind
You really need me
That's why i love mankind"
