I Hate Children I'm getting on a plane It's getting cold, I can hear screaming I know the number of my seat Panic dominates the great sorrow I get closer to the whining row The screaming gets louder and louder The fear gives way to certainty There's a toddler sitting right next to me Here comes the question of all classes “May and can one hate children?” I hate children I hate children The squaller now scrambles back and forth The mother's browsing a magazine She silently talks to the child while reading And eating an apple at the same time My dear Lord wants to punish me The pain in the neck doesn't want to sleep Nor does it stop screaming at all The father's long asleep like a rock Here comes the question of 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 have to 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 [Interlude] But all of a sudden it turns quiet The baby's smiling at me, I'm ecstatic I stretch my hand towards the little one Who then starts screaming once again I hate children I hate children No, I love them Yes, I love them The big ones and the little ones But they have to 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 https://lyricstranslate.com
