lirik lagu tom waits - what keeps mankind alive
(weill/brecht)
you gentlemen who think you have a mission
to purge us of the seven deadly sins
should first sort out the basic food position
then start your preaching, that’s where it begins
you lot who preach restraint and watch your waist as well
should learn, for once, the way the world is run
however much you twist or whatever lies that you tell
food is the first thing, morals follow on
so first make sure that those who are now starving
get proper helpings when we all start carving
what keeps mankind alive?
what keeps mankind alive?
the fact that millions are daily tortured
stifled, punished, silenced and oppressed
mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance
in keeping its humanity repressed
and for once you must try not to shriek the facts
mankind is kept alive by b-st–l acts
