I think it's God Bless You, Mrs. Rosewater, where a character writes a welcome for his neighbor's newborn babies, and it's just telling them what he thinks everyone new to the planet should know, eventually just saying "Goddamnit, babies, you've got to be kind!"
I never read it, so I could be wrong, but that's the gist of it.
“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies – “God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”

This song reminds me of Vonnegut.

The album title, "People Who Can Eat People Are the Luckiest People in the World" is also a Vonnegut reference, a line in Hocus Pocus.
