First We Take Manhattan

First We Take Manhattan by Cookies 'n Beans


They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom


For trying to change the system from within


Im coming now Im coming to reward them


First we take Manhattan then we take Ber-lin


Im guided by a signal in the heavens


Im guided by this birthmark on my skin


Im guided by the beauty of our weapons


First we take manhattanthen we take berlin


Id 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 told you


I was one of those


Ah you loved me as a loser


but now youre worried that I just might win


You know the way to stop me


but you dont have the discipline



How many nights I prayed for this


to let my work begin


First we take manhattan then we take berlin


I dont like your fashion business mister


And I dont like these drugs that keep you thin


I dont like what happened to my sister


First we take manhattan then we take berlin


Id really like to live beside you baby


And I thank you for those items that you sent me


The monkey and the plywood violin


I practiced every night now Im ready


First we take manhattan then we take berlin


I am guided


Ah remember me I used to live for music


Remember me I brought your groceries in


Well its fathers day and everybodys wounded


First we take manhattan then we take berlin
