First we Take Manhattan
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredomfor trying to change the system from within;I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them:
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin !
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens,I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin,I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons:
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin !
Chorus: I'd 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 you're worried that I just might win,you know the way to stop me,but you don't have the discipline.How many nights I prayed for this,to let my work begin:
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin !
I don't like your fashion business misterand I don't like these drugs that keep you thin,I don't like what happened to my sister:
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin !
{Chorus}
And I thank you for those items that you sent me, ha ha,the monkey and the plywood violin;I practiced every night, now I'm ready:
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin !
Ah, remember me, I used to live for music,remember me, I brought your groceries in;well, it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded:
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin !
