Bonobo

A leopard doesn't change its spots
Bonobos, they groom each other
You solve problems here with oral
Chimpanzees are too brutal to me
Bonobos are very complex
You solve problems here with sex
Humans think in simple ways
Here you're sent into the war
 
I would so love to be a bonobo
So tolerant and full of life
Nowhere else is there more love
I would so love to be a bonobo
 
Humans often solve the biggest bullshit
with murder and rape.
Here are humans yet again simple
The bonobo doesn't know such a thing
Bonobos are simply smart
Totally relaxed and very hairy
They don't speak, they live it...
True democracy
 
I would so love to be a bonobo
So tolerant and full of life
Nowhere else is there more love
I would so love to be a bonobo
Whoever created it (Bonobo)
This monkey is perfect
It is the one who can still save us
Because there's a little bit of bonobo in all of us
 
The bonobo has no boss
And no one here is aped
They simply lay back
And rub their best part
Bonobos are exemplary
They share everything in a brotherly fashion
In twos, in threes, even in fours
When they're stressed they simply copulate
 
I would so love to be a bonobo
So tolerant and full of life
Nowhere else is there more love
I would so love to be a bonobo
I would so love to be a bonobo
Because they are peaceful in every way
Humanity is a failure
I would so love to be a bonobo
Whoever created it (Bonobo)
This monkey is perfect
It is the one who can still save me
Because there's a little bit of bonobo in all of us
 
I've often thought about
What humans can do better than animals
But then I came to the conclusion
That humans can't improve anything, they are complicated
I've often thought about
How we could perhaps improve the world
But then I came to the conclusion
Stick your finger in your ass and live like a bonobo
(What monkey business)
 
I would so love to be a bonobo
So tolerant and full of life
Nowhere else is there more love
I would so love to be a bonobo
I would so love to be a bonobo
Because they are peaceful in every way
Humanity is a failure
I would so love to be a bonobo

Nearly perfect.

Some suggestions, though:
"That humans can't improve anything, they are complicated"

"Humans are simply made"
Is that supposed to mean "Humans think in simple ways"? That's what the German line means.

"den größten Stunk," -> "the biggest rows"
That doesn't mean "the biggest problems" but "the biggest bullshit", "the most meaningless problems".

"they live it, True democracy"

"It is the one who can still save us"

"And rub their best part"

"monkey business"
That means something else than "Affentheater".
"Affentheater" means "chaotic/childish/silly behaviour" while a "monkey business" is a fraud.

Thank you. :)

Ah, I was completely confused about "einfach gestrickt", as I was thinking about knitting and wasn't sure how to render it in English!

"Monkey business" can also mean "silly/childish behavior" :) I used it to retain the "monkey/Affen" word play.

"einfach gestrickt" is an idiom, so it doesn't have this literal meaning anymore.

I haven't seen "monkey business" being used in that meaning but if you say that it can mean that then that's surely the best way to translate that expression.
