Surprisingly, Nina Hagen’s Christianity simmers beneath the surface of her music. On “Anti World”, the opening track of NunSexMonkRock – where she poses as the Madonna on the album cover – Nina Hagen relates a Biblical account of an encounter by Jesus with a man who is possessed by a demon:
Once upon a time
When Jesus was walking down his way on earth
He met this man who was possessed by a demon
And Jesus asked the man :
Why do you speak so funny
Why do you behave like that
And the man said
Why Jesus ? because I am possessed by a demon
God ! Jesus said,
And the demon went down into the pig,
And the pig was running away screaming.
And the man was free
Do you see if you only could believe, Jesus said
Everything is possible for those who believe.
