No sun on Sonnenallee
You don't even go with a kippa on the Champs-Élysées
Times are rough and I'm not exactly sure
If I dare to look at the newspaper again tomorrow
And I make my rounds
Since October 7th, I no longer want to seek conversation
Surprise: Even Greta hates Jews
Back then, the perpetrators disappeared quickly
Today, the biggest anti-Semites
Are all anti-racists, against hate and for peace
And the chancellor sounds so shocked
Then he drinks tea with the murderers
It's a maze, it's sheer horror
You've long been thinking about fleeing with your children
It was said "Never again powerlessness"
It's becoming October in Europe

(October in Europe)

It gets dark earlier, black smoke in the streets
Angry shouting, the facades flicker blue
Was that a firecracker or was that already a shot?
Stumbling stones won't be cleaned this year
It's gotten cold, she turns on the heating
And then puts the little ones to bed, tells them: "Don't be afraid"
Then she takes the mezuzah out of the door frame
Instead, there's now a poker behind the door
My taxi driver talks like a Nazi
Better not have discussions at the party
Friends with strong convictions
Hamas propaganda on Kreuzberg house walls
Osama becomes a superstar on TikTok
Left pocket pepper spray, right pocket kubotan
Pulls the hood deeper into her face
She'd rather not wear grandma's necklace with the star again

In September, I still played piano in front of the red Flora
Seven thousand antifas pretending to feel united
Tears flow to the song "My father is being sought"
And a month later, everyone was strangely quiet
It's complicated, you just have to see both sides
When terrorists rape women in piles of corpses
Stars of David are sprayed on house doors
Is this now the so-called criticism of Israel?
Civilians in Gaza are Hamas's human shields
Human shields of the descendants of the Jewish gassers
Human shields of those who are otherwise so brave
"Blah blah, never again blah blah" Instagram posters
Berkeley closer to Tehran than to San Fran'
So closer to the mullahs and not the students
I wanted to go to the antifa demo against Jew-hate
But there wasn't one in Berlin, good night
