God's Song (that's Why I Love Mankind) Lyrics - Randy Newman

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 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

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 

They said, "Lord a 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 please let us be?" 

And the Lord said 

And the Lord said 

Photos 

I burn down your cities - how blind you must be 

I take from you 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 need me 

That's why I love mankind
