about

HOG MEETS FROGs 'ADOLF the ant (...or am i steve?)' -
or how to NOT seize the world as a drunken maniac

A small bar, fucked up, empty - this is probably the best environment in which misanthropic warmongers and self-proclaimed world conquerors should stay with their power fantasies.
And it is precisely in this scenario that HOG MEETS FROG have placed their protagonist - ADOLF the ant. Maybe his name is Steve, but who knows, especially when you're drunk as a skunk?

Staggering back and forth between aggression and narcissism - with a fading sense of equilibrium - he fantasizes about using people who trust and cheer him for his purposes, instrumentalizing them in order to seize world domination and to finally subjugate and enslave them all.

Sip by sip, the desire for power increases, while at the same time the ability to control oneself shrinks glass by glass, until finally unconsciousness sets in and shows the great conqueror what he really is: a sad little lonley homunculus.

------------------------

HOG MEETS FROGs "ADOLF the ant (...or am i steve?)" –
oder wie man als betrunkener Irrer NICHT die Welt erobert

Eine kleine Bar, abgefuckt, leer - das ist wohl die beste Umgebung, in der sich misanthropische Kriegstreiber und selbsternannte Welteroberer mit ihren Machtphantasien aufhalten sollten.
Und genau in diesem Szenario haben HOG MEETS FROG ihren Protagonisten platziert – ADOLF die Ameise. Vielleicht heißt er Steve, aber wer weiß das schon, vor allem, wenn man sturzbetrunken ist?

Hin und her schwankend zwischen Aggression und Narzissmus – mit schwindendem Gleichgewichtssinn – phantasiert er davon, Menschen, die ihm vertrauen und zujubeln, für seine Zwecke zu benutzen, sie zu instrumentalisieren, um die Weltherrschaft an sich zu reißen und sie schließlich alle zu unterjochen und zu versklaven.

Schluck für Schluck wächst das Verlangen nach Macht, während gleichzeitig die Fähigkeit, sich selbst zu kontrollieren, Glas für Glas schrumpft, bis schließlich die Bewusstlosigkeit einsetzt und dem großen Eroberer zeigt, was er wirklich ist: ein trauriger, kleiner, einsamer Homunkulus.

lyrics

------------------------

ADOLF the ant (…or am i steve?)

ADOLF the red ‘important’ fire ant sips -
while spewing words of yesteryear and wisdom from his lips –
on wine louse wine
just to feel fine he trips.

ADOLF the red ‘important’ fire ant trips -
while beating the world’s rhythm with his hardened fingertips –
for all them small,
just to feel tall he sips.

step by step, byte per byte
we take everything in sight!
step by step, byte per byte
we take everything in sight!

ADOLF the red ‘important’ fire ant grins,
because he dreams about to use the other ants as pins
for games of fame done in his name:
‘obey my way!’ is what he say -
and grins.

step by step, byte per byte
we take everything in sight!
step by step, byte per byte
i want everything!
