The Godfather of Love - Mankind? Lyrics

Sometimes he won't think twice
About hitting his wife and kids
To show them
He's still in charge

Sometimes he throws away
Good food while there are people
Starving
In his own backyard

He's supposed to be
The caretaker of this whole planet
But lately he's forgotten
The responsibilities involved
And he's taken his power for granted

Mankind?
Will the concept stand the test of time?
Mankind?
Is it just an illusion of faith that's blind?

Sometimes he pollutes
The water and atmosphere
Without thinking
Of what tomorrow will bring

He crowds animals
Into extinction and treats people
Not as equals
But as things

He's supposed to be
The caretaker of this whole planet
But lately he's forgotten
The responsibilities involved
And he's taken his power for granted

Mankind?
Will the concept stand the test of time?
Mankind?
Is it just an illusion of faith that's blind?

Mankind, talk about mankind
Mankind, talk about mankind
Mankind, talk about mankind
Got to leave it all up to mankind!

Mankind, talk about mankind
Mankind, talk about mankind
Mankind, talk about mankind
Got to leave it all up to mankind!

Mankind
Mankind
Mankind
