Die vermummte Lorelei
or: Heine as a Green activist
Ich weiss nicht was soll es bedeuten
Dass ich so schmutzig bin
Ein Schlammwerk aus uralten Zeiten
Erzielt Profit aus dem Zinn
Die Luft ist schlecht und es dunkelt
Und ruhig schleicht der Rhein
Die graphische Darstellung funkelt
Im künstlichen Sonnenschein.
Der dumme Geschäftsfuehrer sitzet
Da drinnen wunderbar;
Seine goldene Geldtasche blitzet
Er raucht Zigarren sogar.
Er sieht die zinnerne Bilanz
Und singt ein Lied dabei,
Das hat eine wundersame
Furchtbare Melodei.
Den Schiffer im kleinen Schiffe
Ergreift es mit wilder Pein;
Er schaut nicht die zinnerne Bilanz
Er schaut die Verschmutzung im Rhein.
Ich glaube die Säuren verschlingen
Der Fische Lebensorgan;
Und das hat mit seinem Profit
Der Direktor getan.
