Schäfleinliebe
Terrorgruppe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Des Pfaffen liebstes Schaf
Und eines schönen Sommer nachts
Erschien ihr Gott im Schlaf
Von nun an wollt' sie Nonne sein,
Ein Gottes Pinguin,
Den Körper bekam Jesus Christ
Nur weil ihr der liebe Gott erschien
Werden Mönche auch mal geil,
Einer rief die Nonne schnell zu sich
Und erklärte ihr sein Heil
Die Nonne jedoch wollte nicht,
Sie gehörte Jesus Christ,
Da brachte er ihr gewaltsam bei
Was frommes Gemeindeleben ist
Und auch der kleine Meßdiener
Weiss wie sein Bischoff unten schmeckt,
Weil er den heiligen Penis zweimal täglich leckt
Des Papstes fromme Schergen
Haben Sex für wenig Geld,
Drum denk' ich ist der Vatikan
Der größte Puff der Welt
In Terrorgruppe's song "Schäfleinliebe," the lyrics tell the story of a devout sheep that is favored by a priest. One summer night, the sheep has a dream where she sees God. From that point on, she wants to become a nun and serve Jesus Christ. However, the monks within the monastery become lustful and call upon the nun to join them. She refuses and insists that she belongs to Jesus Christ. One monk forcefully teaches her what "holy communal life" means. Similarly, even the young altar boy knows what the bishop tastes like because he licks his holy penis twice a day. The song ends by alluding to how the Vatican is the biggest brothel in the world because the pope's faithful servants engage in sex for little money.
The song's lyrics embody a satirical and dark critique of the Catholic Church's morality and behavior. It highlights the hypocrisy of religious leaders who preach piety and good character but engage in immoral activities while in positions of power. The recent scandals within the Church lend the lyrics even more potency and relevance today. The sheep serves as an allegory for the naïve believers in the Church, who are susceptible to exploitation and manipulation by those in power. The idealized image of the Church is shattered as the lyrics lay bare the corruption and depravity that lie beneath the surface.
