John Martyn - God's Song текст песни

Текст песни God's Song - John Martyn



Cain slew Abel;
Seth, he knew not why.
For, if the children of Israel were supposed to multiply,
Why must any children die?
So he asked the L-rd.
And the L-rd said:
"Man means nothing,
He means even less to me
Than the lonliest cactus flower
Or the homeless yucca tree.
He chases round the desert - hah!
Chasing after me (′cause he thinks he might find me there).
L-rd, that's why i love mankind
(He′s so stupid).
I recoil in horror from the fondness of thee,
From the squalor and the filth; all your misery
Oh, how we laugh up here in Heaven
At the praise you offer me.
That is why i just love mankind - hah!"
The Christians and the Jews,
They had a great, big jamboree.
The Buddhists and the Hindus
Joined in on satellite TV.
They picked the four greatest priests -
They began to speak.
They said:
"Plague is on the world -
L-rd, no man is free.
The temples that we've built to you,
They just tumbled to the sea;
L-rd, if you won't take care of us,
Please let us be!"
And the L-rd said ...
... the L-ord said:
"I burn down your cities:
How blind you must be;
I take away your children:
You say how blessed are thee;
Y′all must be crazy, now, men,
To put your faith in a man like me:
That′s why i love you, mankind!
That is why i you,
That's why i love you, mankind!
Hah, ha, ha, haah ."
