What Keeps Mankind Alive -Tom Waits
Written by ：Bertolt Brecht/Kurt Weill
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
What keeps mankind alive
What keeps mankind alive
The fact that millions are daily tortured
Mankind can keep alive thanks to it's brilliance
In keeping it's humanity repressed
And for once you must try not to shriek the facts
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts
