God's Song Lyrics

Dana Fuchs God's Song

Cain slew Abel, said 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 sitting on the humblest yucca tree Chases around the desert 'cause he thinks that's where I'll be And 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 in heaven at the prayers that you offer me And that's why I love mankind The Christians and the Jews are having a jamboree The Buddhists and the Hindus are joining in on satellite TV They pick their four greatest priests and they began to speak And they said Lord, a plague is on the world Lord no man is free The temples that we build to you are falling down into the sea Lord if you won't take care of us, please please let us be And the Lord said I burn down your cities, how blind you must be I take you and all of your children and you say how blessed are thee Now you all must be crazy to put your faith in me And that's why I love mankind You really need me And that's why I love mankind
