Rem - First We Take Manhattan lyrics
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
 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 they're 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
 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, mister
 I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
 I don't like what happened to your sister
 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 they're moving through the station
 I told you, I told you, I told you I was one of those
 Did I thank you for those items that you sent me
 The monkey and the plywood violin
 I practiced every night now I'm ready
 First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
 Now remember me, I used to live for music
 Remember me, I brought your groceries in
 It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
 First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
