Don't Kill the Animals Songtext
von Nina Hagen

Don′t kill the animals
The animals are free
don't kill the animals
the animals are free

We all want to see through life′s mistery
The quest for knowledge is a natural activity
But science be careful science be kind
You can't go on pretending to be blind
Animal testing is a dangerous game
All systems are different, we're not the same
Hey, hey doctor ― reincarnation
Would you like to come back as a laboratory rat!

Don′t kill the animals
The animals are free
don′t kill the animals
the animals are free


Love and peace and light and life
What you gonna do with your butcher's knife?
Life is for living, the animals agree
If they were meant to be eaten,
they′d be growing on trees
Abuse yourself of your own free will
Live dangerously
and make yourself ill
Get hurt, get high,
get in distress
But don't drag the animals into this mess!

Don′t kill the animals
The animals are free
don't kill the animals
the animals are free


― Hello. Hello. This is No One calling No Name.
― I read you. No Name reading No One.
― Okay, you know
why we′re here tonight, don't you?
― Sure, have you heard
what they're doing to those poor animals?
― Yes, it′s horrible
and someone should do something about that.
― Yeah, someone should,
and that someone is us, and tonight′s the night!
― Okay. let's be careful.
Which way do we go?
― I think our best bet is going through the side door.
― Oh! What′s that funny smell?
― I don't know. Ssssshhhh, someone′s coming!
― Okay, it's all clear now. Let′s go!
― Right. I'm gonna open the door...
― Push!

Don't kill the animals
The animals are free
don′t kill the animals
the animals are free

The pressure is on, make your decision
Be vegetarian,
be anti-vivisection!

Don′t kill the animals
The animals are free

― I think you could say we had success tonight.
― Full beam! Brigitte Bardot's taking the dog,
so I keep the monkey.
― We should have done this a long time ago.
― Oh, we gotta do it again. How ′bout you?
