Never Argue With a German If You're Tired Of European Song Lyrics
Artist(Band):Jefferson Airplane
Sticken in mein Hachen
Sticken in mein Haut
Fugen mein weiss mit mein auss Pucken
Sprechen Sie nicht
Meinem Deutschen wenn Sie
Müden sind
Meine Auto fahrt sehr
Schnell aber es rast
Gegen mauen
Ah, ja, das bin meine
Ja, das bin du
Du, das bin ich
Ver such es

Never Argue With a German If You're Tired Of European Song
Never Argue With a German if You're Tired
by: Jefferson Airplance , circa 1971
The lyrics given here (and in most places) are completely awful. The German in the actual song is not very good either, but here is my best understanding of the song:
Stecken in mein Haken.
Stecken in mein Haut.
Fügen mein weiss mit mein Ausspucken.
Streiten Sie nicht
Mit einem Deutschen wenn Sie
Müde sind.
Meine Auto fährt sehr
Schnell aber es rast
Gegen Mauern.
Ah, ja, das bin meine.
Ja, das bin du.
Du, das bin ich.
Versuches.
And in English:
Stick in my hook.
Stick in my skin.
Mix my white with my spit.
Do not argue
with a German if you
are tired.
My car goes very
fast but it races
against walls.
Ah, yes, that's mine.
Yes, that's you.
Well, that's me.
Experiment.
All the best to you and your daughter Tiger Lilly
Like CSN&Y say "Teach your children well"
Sorry-was a bad night last night too, and was also sensing extreme tenseness in your posts, felt aggressed somehow :)
If it cheers you up-my daughter and I defaced a poster yesterday, with a giant black marker. A campaign poster for the Republikaner (neo-fascist party here). On this poster was a lovely photo of a mosque, with the sun going down behind it. The caption read: "German culture instead of multi-culture".
My daughter saw the poster first, and came and told me about it. She was absolutely furious, and wanting to tear it down. But we wrote on it instead. We wrote "Never forget the last time Germany was intolerant. 0 Votes for Republikaner."
How could I sit here and do nothing, when my child (who I have been teaching tolerance) was wanting to take action? THAT would have been hypocritical! :-P

...you usually cheer on the radicals. I am not trying to be hostile but the fact is (and remains) that few people will act, despite the unbelievable events unfolding in Northern Africa and here in America with the move of Repubs to take away the right to collective bargaining.
The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. 1 out of 8 people in America is on food stamps. The time to act was 30 years ago but we let it ride and anything done now is merely for one's conscience. But it is important to act.. I think Zarathustra would say we have no supermen to save the day.
I feel that Deadheads, with expanded consciousness, should not be couch potatoes at this time, That is all I am trying to convey.
Doing nothing is taking a stand. Apathy reigns. I accept it but refuse to stay silent! Bliss to all, be happy , healthy and whole. Keep rearranging those deck chairs on the Titanic.

Time to meet with my affinity group and do our thing. The rest of you can sit around arguing about E72 codes, smoking joints, playing video games and taking Watson 10/325s.
To those who are acting:
Bou-yahhh! Longhairs!!!
We can be togetherAh you and me
We should be together
We are all outlaws in the eyes of America
In order to survive we steal cheat lie forge fred hide and deal
We are obscene lawless hideous dangerous dirty violent and young
But we should be together
Come on all you people standing around
Our life's too fine to let it die and
We can be together
All your private property is
Target for your enemy
And your enemy is
We
We are forces of chaos and anarchy
Everything they say we are we are
And we are very
Proud of ourselves
Up against the wall
Up against the wall fred (motherfucker)
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Come on now together
Get it on together
Everybody together
We should be together
We should be together my friends
We can be together
We will be
We must begin here and now
A new continent of earth and fire
Come on now gettin higher and higher
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Won't you try
(by B. Brecht, M. Balin, M. Cummings)Translated by H. R. Hays
People of the world together
Join to serve the common cause
So it feeds us all forever
See to it that it's now yours
Forward without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be
When starving or when eating
It's forward not forgetting our solidarity
Black or white or brown or yellow
Leave your old disputes behind
Once you start talking to your fellow men
You'll soon be of one mind
If we want to make this certain
We'll need you and your support
It's yourselves you'll be deserting
If you rat on your own sort
Forward without forgetting
Where our strenght can be seen now to be
When starving or when eating
It's forward not forgetting our solidarity
All the gang of those who rule us
Hope our quarrels never stop
Helping them to split and fool us
Just so they can remain on top
Forward without forgetting
Till the concrete question is hurled
When Starving or when eating
Whose tomorrow
Is tomorrow
And whose world
Is the world
Solidarity
Do away with people blowing my minddo away with people wasting my precious time
take me to a simple place
where I can easily see my face
maybe, baby I'll see that you were kind
know I love you baby, yes I do
know I love you baby, yes I do
do away with people laughing at my hair
do away with people frowning on my precious prayers
take me to a circus tent
where I can easily pay my rent
and all the other freaks will share my cares
know I love you baby, yes I do
know I love you baby, yes I do
do away with things that come on obscene
like hot rods, beauty queens, real fine nicotine
sometimes it buys for 65 dollars
prices like that make a grown man holler
'specially when it's sold by a kid who's only 15
know I love you baby, yes I do
know I love you baby, yes I do
3/5's of a mile in 10 seconds...
(God bless the Jefferson Airplane)
I should use Jim Boehner's gavel but his office said he won't lend it out. Maybe a really giant gavel. I definitely want the crowds attention, comedy rarely does it, but a blow-up air gavel symbolizes airhead politicians
Bad news, the AFSC doesn't support self-immolation. Too bad, that is a real attention getter and the people on this site who don't agree with me would be so relieved!
