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
|
|
