Tear Me Down

Don't you know me Kansas City? I'm the new Berlin wall Try and tear me down! I was born on the other side Of a town ripped in two I made it over the great divide And now I'm coming for you Enemies and adversaries They try and tear me down You want me baby, I dare you Try and tear me down I rose from off of the doctor's slab Like Lazarus from the pit Now everyone wants to take a stab, and decorate me Blood, graffiti and spit Enemies and adversaries They try and tear me down You want me baby, I dare you Try and tear me down On August 13th, 1961 A wall was erected down the middle of the city of Berlin The world was divided by a Cold War And the Berlin wall was the most hated symbol of that divide Reviled, graffitied, spit upon We though the wall would stand forever And now that it's gone We don't know who we are anymore Ladies and gentleman Hedwig is like that wall! Standing before you in the divide Between east and west Slavery and freedom Man and woman Top and bottom And you can try to tear her down But before you do, you must remember one thing! There ain't much of a difference Between a bridge and a wall Without me right in the middle, babe You would be nothing at all Enemies and adversaries They try and tear me down You want me baby, I dare you Try and tear me down
