What Keeps Mankind Alive?

And now, the ballad of the question: What keeps mankind alive?

[MACHEATH]
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 all begins
You lot, who preach restraint and watch your waist as well
Should learn for once the way the world is run
However much you twist or whatever lies that you tell
Food is the first thing. Morals follow on
So first be sure that those who are now starving
Get proper helpings when we all start carving

What keeps mankind alive?

What keeps mankind alive? The fact that millions
Are daily tortured, starved, silenced, and oppressed
Mankind can keep alive thanks to his aptitude
For keeping his humanity repressed
And now for once you must try to face the facts
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts
And for once you must try to face the facts
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts
