what keeps mankind alive

• tom waits'in orphand bastard 'ından bir şarkı.
  
  you gentlemen who think you have a mission
  to purge us of the seven deadly sins(2)
  should first sort out the basic food position
  then start your preaching, that’s where it 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 make 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, stifled, punished, silenced and oppressed
  mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance
  in keeping its humanity repressed
  and for once you must try not to shirk the facts
  mankind is kept alive
  by bestial acts!
