--------------
3
You gentlemen who think you have a mission
4
To purge us of the seven deadly sins
5
Should first sort out the basic food position
6
Then start your preaching, that's where it begins
7
You lot, who preach restraint and watch your waist as well
8
Should learn for all time how the world is run
9
However much you twist, whatever lies you tell
10
Food is the first thing, morals follow on
11
So first make sure that those, who now are starving
12
Get proper helpings, when we all start carving
13
What keeps mankind alive, the fact that millions
14
Are daily tortured, stifled, punished, silenced, oppressed
15
Mankind can keep alive, thanks to its brilliance
16
At keeping its humanity repressed
17
For once, you must not try to shirk the facts:
18
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts.
19
You say the girls may strip with your permission (whoa!)
20
You draw the line dividing art from sin
21
So first sort out the basic food position
22
Then start your preaching, that's where it begins
23
You lot, who bank on your desires and our disgust
24
Should learn for all time how the world is run
25
Whatever lies you tell, however much you twist
26
Food is the first thing, morals follow on
27
So first make sure that those, who now are starving
28
Get proper helpings, when we all start carving
29
What keeps mankind alive, the fact that millions
30
Are daily tortured, stifled, punished, silenced, oppressed
31
Mankind can keep alive, thanks to its brilliance
32
At keeping its humanity repressed
33
For once, you must not try to shirk the facts
34
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts
35
Mankind can keep alive, thanks to its brilliance
36
At keeping its humanity repressed

For once, you must not try to shirk the facts:
