[00:00:00] What Keeps Mankind Alive? (2001 Remastered Version) - Pet Shop Boys (宠物店男孩)

[00:00:02] Written by：Bertholt Brecht/Kurt Weill

[00:00:20] You gentlemen who think you have a mission

[00:00:24] To purge us of the seven deadly sins

[00:00:28] Should first sort out the basic food position

[00:00:31] Then start your preaching that's where it begins

[00:00:36] You lot who preach restraint and watch your waist as well

[00:00:40] Should learn for all time how the world is run

[00:00:43] However much you twist whatever lies you tell

[00:00:47] Food is the first thing morals follow on

[00:00:51] So first make sure that those who now are starving

[00:00:55] Get proper helpings when we all start carving

[00:01:01] What keeps mankind alive the fact that millions

[00:01:05] Are daily tortured stifled punished silenced oppressed

[00:01:09] Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance

[00:01:13] At keeping its humanity repressed

[00:01:18] For once you must not try to shirk the facts

[00:01:26] Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts

[00:01:32] You say the girls may strip with your permission

[00:01:36] You draw the line dividing art from sin

[00:01:40] So first sort out the basic food position

[00:01:43] Then start your preaching that's where it begins

[00:01:48] You lot who bank on your desires and our disgust

[00:01:52] Should learn for all time how the world is run

[00:01:55] Whatever lies you tell however much you twist

[00:01:59] Food is the first thing morals follow on

[00:02:03] So first make sure that those who now are starving

[00:02:07] Get proper helpings when we all start carving

[00:02:13] What keeps mankind alive the fact that millions

[00:02:17] Are daily tortured stifled punished silenced oppressed

[00:02:21] Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance

[00:02:25] At keeping its humanity repressed

[00:02:30] For once you must not try to shirk the facts

[00:02:38] Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts

[00:02:51] Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance

[00:02:55] At keeping its humanity repressed

[00:03:00] For once you must not try to shirk the facts

[00:03:08] Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts
