Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jaeger

A German phrase from the anime Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin. It is said at the beginning of the anime's theme song, and has become popular.

It translates to: They are the food (prey) and we are the hunters.
You are the prey = Du bist (singular) or Ihr seid (pl "y'all are) das Essen (undefined/non-specific/ "meal," may be incorrectly used in this case).

Person 1: Have you seen Attack on Titan?
Person 2: Oh yeah man, I love that anime!
Both (yelling loudly and in unison): SIE SIND DAS ESSEN UND WIR SIND DIE JAEGER!

Sie Sind Das Essen Und Wir Sind Die Jager

The first line of the intro song to the Attack On Titan anime series.
Despite what the top definition says "Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jäger" really translates to:

"They are the food and we are the hunters."

Using 'Sie' as 'Du' is very very very formal and would never be used here and 'prey' would be 'die Beute' and can not be replaced by 'Essen'. Come on, get it right at least!

Person 1: SIE SIND DAS ESSEN UND WIR SIND DIE JAGER
Person 2: Dude, you don't have to hunt your food...
