[00:00.979]What Keeps Mankind Alive -Tom Waits
[00:03.482]Written by ：Bertolt Brecht/Kurt Weill
[00:15.435]You gentlemen who think you have a mission
[00:21.93]To purge us of the seven deadly sins
[00:27.03]Should first sort out the basic food position
[00:32.176]Then start your preaching
[00:34.417]That's where it begins
[00:38.163]You lot who preach restraint
[00:40.412]And watch your waist as well
[00:44.107]Should learn for once
[00:45.509]The way the world is run
[00:49.209]However much you twist
[00:51.897]Or whatever lies that you tell
[00:55.134]Food is the first thing morals follow on
[01:01.272]So first make sure that those who are now starving
[01:06.391]Get proper helpings when we all start carving
[01:14.945]What keeps mankind alive
[01:18.564]What keeps mankind alive
[01:24.461]The fact that millions are daily tortured
[01:29.337]Stifled punished silenced and oppressed
[01:33.513]Mankind can keep alive thanks to it's brilliance
[01:41.986]In keeping it's humanity repressed
[01:48.432]And for once you must try not to shriek the facts
[02:01.614]Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts
