First We Take Manhatten Lyrics

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 themFirst we take Manhattan
Then we take BerlinI 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 sisterFirst we take Manhattan
Then we take BerlinI'd really like to live beside you
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line that's moving
Through the stationI told you
I told you
I told you I was one of thoseThank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night, now I'm readyFirst we take Manhattan
Then we take BerlinThen we take BerlinThen we take Berlin
