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!

you lot, who preach restraint and watch your waist as well
should learn for all time how the world is run

you say the girls may strip with your permission (whoa!)
you draw the line dividing art from sin
so first sort out the basic food position
then start your preaching, that's where it begins

you lot, who bank on your desires and our disgust
should learn for all time how the world is run
whatever lies you tell, however much you twist
food is the first thing, morals follow on

so first make sure that those, who now are starving
get proper helpings, when we all start carving
