[ti:God's Song (That's Why I Love Mankind)] [ar:Etta James] [al:Etta James] [offset:0] God's Song (That's Why I Love Mankind) - Etta James 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 and the Lord And the Lord said Man means nothing He means less to me Than the lowliest cactus flower Or the humblest yucca tree 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 The Buddhists and the Hindus Joined on satellite TV Picked their four greatest priests And they began to speak And they said Lorda plague is on the world Lord, no man is free The temples that we built to you Have tumbled down Fell into the sea Lord, if you won't take care of us Please, please let us be? And the Lord said And the Lord said: I burn down your cities How blind you must be I take 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 love I love mankind
