LYRICS

suicidal animals - are they not well?
suicidal animals - are they mental?

once there was this bird that flew into my driving car
pretty crazy
was it a kamikaze thing to do
or was it just tired and lazy
always lookin where to fly
keepin its eyes open all the time

suicidal animals - are they not well?
suicidal animals - are they mental?

then there was this deer in the forest of my grandma
jumpin at the fences like a maniac
it had a broken neck already from jumpin at the fences
but it kept manically jumpin at the fences
why did it do it
was it so depressed?

suicidal animals - are they not well?
suicidal animals - are they mental?
they probably are

then there was this kamikaze rabbit that jumped into my tire
it was dark and pretty late
i tried to scratch its corpse of the road
but to no avail
the thing was so heavy and sort of
glued to the floor by its own blood and gore

suicidal animals - are they not well?
suicidal animals - are they mental?
society probably made them this way

have you seen this documentary with the russian walrusses
commiting mass suicide
wanted to see what happens if
they all jump off that cliff
its by far one of the most terrifying things i've ever seen
in any documentary

if you are an animal
and life is treating you like shit
you're done and tired of your existence
it's okay to quit
it's okay to quit
it's okay to quit
humans wont mind a bit

„[...] ungeschliffene, gestochen scharf auf den Punkt kommende, englischsprachige
Songminitaturen voll von schrägem Humor und bitterbösen Weltbetrachtungen, die schlecht
gestimmte Gitarre schnörkellos rudimentär, die Stimme ein wütendes Knurren, kaum ein Lied
länger als zweieinhalb Minuten. Wunderbar!“ (NN)

"Schräger Antifolk mit Bart, Klampfe und Mundharmonika. Zum Verlieben!" (A&F) ... more
