They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
Dm AmFor trying to change the system from within
Dm AmI'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
Dm AmI'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
Dm AmI'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
C AmI love your body and your spirit and your clothes
C AmBut you see that line there moving through the station
I told you I told you I told you I was one of those
You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might win
Dm AmYou know the way to stop me but you don't have the discipline
Dm AmHow 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, mister
Dm AmI don't like these drugs that keep you thin
Dm AmI don't like what happened to your sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin (chorus)
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
Dm AmThe monkey and the plywood violin
Dm AmI practiced every night and now I'm ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Remember me, I used to live for music
Dm AmRemember me, I brought your groceries in
Dm AmIt's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
