  1. I like to fuck, but no French letter
    Without a condom, the sex is better
    But every time I get it in
    A baby cries and sometimes twins

    I have six kids and I don’t like it
    They eat too much and treat me like shit
    They only wear Posh label clothes
    I give them one hand, they bite off both

    And all my friends, they have big cars
    Big mansions, too, and smoke the fine cigars
    They have deep pockets, I don’t know why
    I look at my purse and start to cry
    Why?

    I hate my life, and I hate you
    I hate my wife, and her boyfriend, too
    I hate to hate, and I hate that
    I hate my life so very bad
    I hate my kids, never thought
    That I’d praise abort

    Praise abort

    I like to fuck, but no French letter
    ‘Cause without kids, life is so much better
    So in the end, I got forced
    To stay away from female intercourse

    I hate my life, and I hate you
    I hate my wife, and her boyfriend, too
    I hate to hate, and I hate that
    I hate my life so very bad
    I hate my kids, never thought
    That I’d praise abort

    Praise abort

    Say goodbye, say goodbye
    We rise up, up to the sky
    Say goodbye, we’ll come back
    Soon as pretty butterflies
    Make you cry

    I hate my life, and I hate you
    I hate my wife, and my boyfriend, too
    I hate to hate, and I hate that
    I hate myself so very bad
    I hate my offspring, never thought
    That I’d praise abort

    I praise abort

  2. Many people seem to think he is endorsing abortion, from the comments I’ve read. To me, it seems more like he’s criticizing it (because many people who do it don’t have a legitimate reason to do so, rather they only do it as if it were a contraceptive method). Notice the following:

    – with the lyrics (and the video) he’s making a point that most of those who abort are promiscuous and would go for anything as long as it is sex (the guy even turned gay just because he didn’t want to have more children);

    – associated with promiscuity is a very high level of lack of self-control (which is obviously negative thing);

    – the lyrics are “I hate this, I hate that…”, making the point that those people are all about hate;

    – they are being portrayed as pigs in the video, which, in terms of name calling, has an obvious negative connotation;

    – in Rammstein, Till sings in the first person as if he’s the villain, the bad guy, same thing seems to apply here, making, by association, the people who abort the bad “guys”;

    – in the end of the video, Till is showing affection towards the baby pig (the complete opposite of what the character portrayed in the song is all about).

    I know my opinion may be the minority, and that’s exactly why I wanted to share it, so people see different points of view.
