[Verse 1]
Did you do something that no one else does?
Do you have high heels or even a hat?
Or did you wear a dress that was too short
Without asking your neighbors for permission first?
Now, of course, you are treated with contempt
You're a disgrace to the entire neighborhood
You don't even really know their names
As they already start gossiping viciously about you
[Chorus]
Let the people talk and don't listen to them
Most people just don't have anything better to do
Let the people talk, day and night
Let the people talk, that's what they've always done
[Verse 2]
You must have robbed a bank
How else would you be able to pay your rent?
And you're not allowed to enter the United States ever again
Because you are Osama bin Laden's mistress
Do you shave your facial hair every day or
Have you hastily buried some bodies in your garden?
The neighbors suggested something along those lines
So don't be surprised if the criminal investigation division ring your bell soon
[Chorus]
Let the people talk and just don't listen
Most people don't have evil intentions
It's their monotonous life that stings them
And the day gets more interesting when you spread myths
[Bridge]
And probably they don't even feel embarrassed about it
They lack any understanding
And again it shows: They are petty-minded
Unavoidably xenophobic
[Verse 3]
Have you heard, and tell me, did you know?
You make a living with prostitution
You're said to stand at the bus station regularly
A brother-in-law's colleague saw you the other day
[Chorus]
Let the people talk and just smile gently
Most people got their education from Bild
Which consists, who wouldn't know
Of fear, hate, tits and the weather report
Let the people talk because as it always is
As long as people talk, they don't do worse things
And you can absolutely afford some hypocrisy
Stay polite and don't say anything: That's what makes them angry the most
