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
