Cain slew Abel, said he knew not why
Said if the children of Israel would multiply
Why must any of the children, why must they die?
So he asked the Lord and the Lord said, He said
Man means nothing, he is less to me
Than the lowest cactus flower on a harmless yucca tree
He chases round this desert 'cause he thinks that's where I'll be
And that's why I love mankind
I recoil in horror at the foulness of thee
Oh, from the squalor and the filth and the misery
How we laugh up here at the prayers you offer me
That's why I love mankind

Lord knows, men ain't free
Temples that we built for you
They tumbled down and fell into the sea
But, 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 and your children
And you say, "Blessed, o blessed, o blessed, o blessed are we
You all must be crazy, to put your faith in me"
Well, that's why I love mankind
And that's why I love mankind
