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 (whoa!) 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
