[00:00.00]What Keeps Mankind Alive - Tom Waits (汤姆·威兹)
[00:07.71]Written by：Bertolt Brecht/Kurt Weill
[00:15.43]You gentlemen who think you have a mission
[00:21.09]To purge us of the seven deadly sins
[00:27.00]Should first sort out the basic food position
[00:32.17]Then start your preaching
[00:34.41]That's where it begins
[00:38.16]You lot who preach restraint
[00:40.41]And watch your waist as well
[00:44.10]Should learn for once
[00:45.50]The way the world is run
[00:49.20]However much you twist
[00:51.89]Or whatever lies that you tell
[00:55.13]Food is the first thing morals follow on
[01:01.27]So first make sure that those who are now starving
[01:06.39]Get proper helpings when we all start carving
[01:14.94]What keeps mankind alive
[01:18.56]What keeps mankind alive
[01:24.46]The fact that millions are daily tortured
[01:29.33]Stifled punished silenced and oppressed
[01:33.51]Mankind can keep alive thanks to it's brilliance
[01:41.98]In keeping it's humanity repressed
[01:48.43]And for once you must try not to shriek the facts
[02:01.61]Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts
