there was a time
when no one wanted to live here
still it was good enough
for the old, the unemployed, the students
for migrants, artists, poor families
but now it seems that things have changed
those who made this quarter beautiful
are disseized by the rising rents

thieves
you are just
thieves
and you should be treated like
thieves
and it's not that you steal cause you're in need
but you take and take just because of your greed

and you act so self-righteous
as if the others are the ones to blame
when they show resistance and anger
you try to appear innocent and tame
but you are the monster
that came and destroyed everything
you are the ones who caused sadness and pain
you are the ones who took their lives away

thieves
you are just...

oh and i read your interviews
you are so shocked because of the riots
and you can't stand em anymore
don't want destruction in your quarter
but i tell you a little secret my friend
it's never been your quarter in the end
you simply came here some years ago
and you took it without asking

so you will
see the riots
and you will
feel the wrath
and you better
stop complaining
cause it's you
who started it

and you will
see it burning
all the homes / this quarter
you took by force
and you will
look in the eyes
of all those
you have stolen from
