Tom Waits - What Keeps Mankind Alive Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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 bestial acts

    • Report error in lyric
