First We Take Manhattan lyrics by Joe Cocker

They sentenced me
to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change
the system from within

I'm coming now,
I'm coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan,
and then we take Berlin

I'm guided by a signal
in the heavens
I'm guided by the
birthmark on my skin

I'm guided by the
beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan,
then we take Berlin

I'd really like to live
beside you, baby
I love your body
your spirit and your clothes

But you see that line is
moving through the station
I told you, I told you, I told you,
I was one of those
I don't like your fashion
business, mister
I don't like those drugs
that make you thin

I don't like what happened
to my sister
First we take Manhattan,
and then we take Berlin

All the way

Then we take Berlin

I don't like it, No way

I don't like those drugs

And then we take Berlin

And then we take Berlin

Then we take Berlin
