Title: First We Take Manhattan

Editor: Mora Van

They sentenced 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 this 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 there 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 these drugs that keep you thin

I don't like what happened to my sister

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin (chorus)

**Make everyone happy!**
