First We Take Manhattan — текст песни (Rem)

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

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 (chorus)

And I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night and now I`m ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

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
