Ein Ehrenwertes Haus (Version 2000)

We have been living in this apartment building for a year and are well known here
But imagine what I just found under our front door
It's a letter from our neighbors saying we have to get out (hey, hey, hey)
They think you and I are not a good fit
In this honorable house

Because we party here and because our friends are weird
Did they meet here yesterday and then vote
And the community of all tenants now writes to us
Move out of here (hey, hey, hey)
Because decency and morality prevail among us
In this honorable house

Everyone has signed, look at the long list
The real estate swindler who can cheat completely legally
The journalist pays for sex and claps herself magnificently (hey, hey, hey)
The one from the building authority with the open hand
From this honorable house

The fat woman with the dog who complains when a child's bike is in the hallway
The yuppie with the tax tricks, the lawyer who twists the law
The old skinhead with the bad look, he can't stand us anymore (hey, hey, hey)
Because he dreams of new old times
In this honorable house

Oh man, are everyone in this house really completely crazy?
Everyone hides behind their door, no one dares, whether young or old
The people who live here all look quite ordinary (hey, hey, hey)
I can't bear what is happening here
In this honorable house
Before we become like that ourselves, it is better
We're moving out (hey, hey, hey)
I think you and I are not a good match
In this honorable house
