So he asked the Lord and the Lord said CHORUS Man means nothing; he means less to me      Than the lowliest cactus flower or the humblest Yucca tree He chases round this desert ’cos he thinks that’s where I’ll be That’s why I love mankind  [LINK] CHORUS I recoil in hor- ror from the foulness of thee     From the squalor and the filth and the misery How we laugh up in here in heaven at the prayers you offer me That’s why I love mankind INTERLUDE | | % | VERSE 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 VERSE 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     CHORUS 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 man-kind; you really need me That’s why I love mankind OUTRO | |
