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.
