Terrorgruppe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jesus liebt mich
Und dich nicht
Jesus liebt mich
Und dich nicht
Hey du alter Penner,
Schläfst du gut auf deiner Parkbank?
Siehst "gut" aus,
Refrain
Hast wohl keine Kohle,
Sozi hat dein Geld gesperrt...
Mit Arbeit wär' das nicht passiert...
Refrain
Du liegst im Dunkeln...
..ich steh im Licht -
Jesus liebt mich und dich nicht!
Refrain
Hey du kleiner Perser,
Bist übers falsche Land geflogen...
..morgen wirst du abgeschoben
Refrain
The song "CDU" by Terrorgruppe is a punk rock tune that takes a satirical look at the political party CDU (Christian Democratic Union) in Germany. The song's refrain, "Jesus loves me and not you," is a play on the Christian values that CDU tries to promote. The lyrics then go on to seemingly insult individuals who are homeless or foreign, but through a closer look, it can be interpreted as pointing out the failings of CDU's policies in supporting these marginalized groups.
The first verse addresses a homeless person, asking if they sleep well on their park bench and commenting on their physical appearance. The following line suggests that the person is only in this situation because of CDU's lack of support through social policies. The chorus repeats the refrain, mocking CDU's supposed moral superiority by stating that not even Jesus loves them.
The second verse focuses on a foreigner, referred to as a "little Persian," who has come to the wrong country and will be deported the following day. This is another example of CDU's lack of compassion and understanding towards individuals who are seen as different or foreign.
Overall, "CDU" by Terrorgruppe can be seen as a critique of CDU's perceived indifference to the needs of marginalized groups in Germany. By using satire and provocative lyrics, the song challenges the listener to question the actions and values of CDU.
