What Keeps Mankind Alive?

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 all time how the world is run

However much you twist, whatever lies you tell

food is the first thing, morals follow on

So first make sure that those who now are starving

get proper helpings when we all start carving

What keeps mankind alive? The fact that millions

are daily tortured, stifled, punished, silenced, oppressed

Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance

at keeping its humanity repressed

For once you must not try to shirk the facts

Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts

You say the girls may strip with your permission

You draw the line dividing art from sin

So first sort out the basic food position

then start your preaching, that's where it begins

You lot who bank on your desires and our disgust

should learn for all time how the world is run

Whatever lies you tell, however much you twist

food is the first thing, morals follow on

So first make sure that those who now are starving

get proper helpings when we all start carving

What keeps mankind alive? The fact that millions

are daily tortured, stifled, punished, silenced, oppressed

Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance

at keeping its humanity repressed

For once you must not try to shirk the facts

Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts

Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance

at keeping its humanity repressed

For once you must not try to shirk the facts

Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts
