Tear Me Down-Stephen Trask

[00:06.02]Don't you know me Kansas City, [00:07.81]I'm the new Berlin wall [00:10.44]Try and tear me down. [00:12.31] [00:13.20]I was born on the other side [00:16.22]of a town ripped in two [00:19.66]I made it over the great divide [00:23.24]now I'm coming for you [00:24.93] [00:25.68]Enemies and adversaries [00:29.97]they try and tear me down [00:33.32]You want me, baby, I dare you [00:37.00]Try and tear me down [00:39.33] [01:00.98]I rose from off of the doctor's slab [01:04.37]like Lazarus from the pit [01:07.71]Now everyone wants to take a stab [01:09.83]and decorate me [01:11.16]with blood graffiti and spit [01:12.64] [01:13.62]Enemies and adversaries [01:17.82]they try and tear me down [01:21.43]You want me, baby, I dare you [01:24.89]Try and tear me down. [01:26.72] [01:50.08]On August 13th, 1961, [01:52.76]a wall was erected [01:53.94]down the middle of the city of Berlin. [01:56.68]The world was divided by a cold war [01:59.35]and the Berlin Wall [02:00.40]was the most hated symbol of that divide [02:03.34]Reviled. Graffitied. Spit upon. [02:06.78]We thought the wall would stand forever, [02:09.61]and now that it's gone, [02:11.16]we don't know who we are anymore. [02:13.89]Ladies and Gentlemen, [02:15.27]Hedwig is like that wall, [02:17.89]standing before you in the divide [02:19.74]between East and West, [02:21.69]Slavery and Freedom, [02:23.68]Man and Woman, [02:25.05]Top and Bottom. [02:27.43]And you can try to tear her down, [02:30.06]but before you do, [02:31.40]you must remember one thing. [02:32.67] [02:36.94]There ain't much of a difference [02:40.30]between a bridge and a wall [02:43.70]Without me right in the middle, babe [02:46.70]you would be nothing at all. [02:48.78] [02:49.65]Enemies and adversaries [02:54.03]they try and tear me down [02:57.24]You want me, baby, I dare you [03:00.75]try and tear me down. [03:03.00] [03:03.36]Enemies and adversaries [03:07.46]they try and tear me down [03:11.06]You want me, baby, I dare you [03:14.56]try and tear me down [03:16.50]
