Generate meaning
1
You gentlemen who think you have a mission
2
To purge us of the seven deadly sins
3
Should first sort out the basic food position
4
Then start your preaching, that's where it begins
5
You lot, who preach restraint and watch your waist as well
6
Should learn for all time how the world is run
7
However much you twist, whatever lies you tell
8
Food is the first thing, morals follow on
9
[Chorus]
10
So first make sure that those, who now are starving
11
Get proper helpings, when we all start carving
12
What keeps mankind alive, the fact that millions
13
Are daily tortured, stifled, punished, silenced, oppressed
14
Mankind can keep alive, thanks to its brilliance
15
At keeping its humanity repressed
16
For once, you must not try to shirk the facts
17
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts
18
You say the girls may strip with your permission
19
You draw the line dividing art from sin
20
So first sort out the basic food position
21
Then start your preaching, that's where it begins
22
You lot, who bank on your desires and our disgust
23
Should learn for all time how the world is run
24
Whatever lies you tell, however much you twist
25
Food is the first thing, morals follow on
26
[Chorus]
27
Mankind can keep alive, thanks to its brilliance
28
At keeping its humanity repressed
29
For once, you must not try to shirk the facts
30
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts
