They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom For trying to change the system from within Im coming now Im coming to reward them First we take Manhattan then we take Ber-lin Im guided by a signal in the heavens Im guided by this birthmark on my skin Im guided by the beauty of our weapons First we take manhattanthen we take berlin Id really like to live beside you baby I love your body and your spirit and your clothes But you see that line there moving through the station? I told you I told you told you I was one of those Ah you loved me as a loser But now youre worried that I just might win You know the way to stop me To let my work begin First we take manhattan then we take berlin I dont like your fashion business mister And I dont like these drugs that keep you thin I dont like what happened to my sister First we take manhattan then we take berlin Id really like to live beside you baby And I thank you for those items that you sent me The monkey and the plywood violin I practiced every night now Im ready First we take manhattan then we take berlin I am guided Ah remember me I used to live for music Remember me I brought your groceries in Well its fathers day and everybodys wounded First we take manhattan then we take berlin
