Tiere English translation
von Nina Hagen

Animals would never do such a thing
So don't ever call me stupid chicken again
Holy is the cow, leave her alone!
Animals aren't mean like you.


In the jungle, the animals
That's where they belong
And not in the zoo;
They're not happy there
They don't belong on the shoulders of your rich doll
And frogs and toads don't belong in the soup

[repeat of chorus]

No bird would build you a cage
And make you sing
No pig would fatten you
And lock you in the slaughterhouse
To hang you on a hook and
Tear your skin off

My relatives are the elephants
And what I like to paint are whales
