Karaoké Tear Me Down Hedwig and the Angry Inch

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 delight and now I'm comin' for you

Enemies and adversaries

They try and tear me down

You want me baby

I dare you

Well, 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 with blood graffiti and spit

Enemies and adversaries

They try and tear me down

You want me baby

I dare you

Well, try and tear me down

On August thirteenth nineteen sixty-one 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 thought the wall would stand forever

And now that it's gone we don't know who we are anymore

Ladies and gentlemen

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 and tear her down

But before you do you must remember one thing

Hey

There ain't much of a difference between a bridge and a wall

Without me right in the middle, babe

Woah, you would be nothin' at all

Enemies and adversaries

They try and tear me down

You want me baby

I dare you

Aah well, try and tear me down

Enemies and adversaries

They try and tear me down

You want me baby

I dare you

Well, try and tear me down

From east Berlin to junction city

Hello New York

Hello Missouri

What

You try and tear me down

Come on and tear come on and tear me down
