Stephen Trask ☆ Tear Me Down

Don’t you know me? Kensas city,
I’m a new born in world
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
now i’m coming for you

Enemies and adversaries
they try and tear me down
Wou 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
with blood graffiti and spit

Enemies and adversaries
they try and tear me down
Wou want me, baby. I dare you
try and tear me down

On August 12, 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 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 li 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
remember one thing

Listen
There ain’t much of a difference
between a bridge and a wall
without me right in the middle, baby.
you would be nothing at all

Enemies and adversaries
they try and tear me down
Wou want me, baby. I dare you
try and tear me down
