Ich Hasse Kinder

I board a plane
It gets cold, I hear it scream
I know my seat number
Panic rides great sorrow

I approach the row of complaints
The screaming gets louder
The fear now gives way to certainty here
A toddler sits right next to me

Here's the question for all classes
Can and should one hate children?

I hate children
I hate children

The screamer now turns here and there
The mother flips through a magazine
Silently speaks to the child while reading
And eats an apple

Dear Lord wants to punish me
The nuisance doesn't want to sleep
Doesn't stop screaming at all
The father is already fast asleep

Here's the question for all classes
Can and must one hate children?

I hate children
I hate children
No, I love them
Yes, I love them
The big ones and the little ones
But they must be mine

But suddenly it becomes quiet
It smiles at me, I am delighted
Reach out my hand to the little one
Then it starts screaming again

I hate children
I hate children
No, I love them
Yes, I love them
The big ones and the little ones
But they must be mine

I hate children
I hate children
Here comes the question of all questions
Can and must one hit children?

No, I love them
Yes, I love them
All children, big and small
But they should be mine
