They sentanced me to twenty
Years of boredom
For 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 the birthmark on
My skin
I'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
I love your body and your
Spirit and your clothes
But you see that line that's
Moving
Through the station
I told you
I told you
I told you I was one of those
I don't like your fashion
Business mister
I don't like those drugs that
Keep you thin
I don't like what happened to
My sister
First we take manhattan
Then we take berlin
