They senBmtenced me to twenty years of Fmboredom
For Bmtrying to change the system from Fmwithin
I'm Bmcoming now I'm coming to Fmreward them
EbFirst we take ManDbhattan, Cthen we take BerFmlin
I'm Bmguided by a signal in the Fmheavens
I'm Bmguided by this birthmark on my Fmskin
I'm Bmguided by the beauty of our Fmweapons
EbFirst we take ManDbhattan, Cthen we take BerFmlin
I'd Abreally like to live beside you, Ebbaby
DbI Eblove your Abbody and your spirit and your Fmclothes
But you Absee that line there moving through the Fmstation
I Ebtold you, I Dbtold you, Ctold you I was one of Fmthose
You Bmloved me as a loser but now you're Fmworried that I just might win
You Bmknow the way to stop me but you Fmdon't have the discipline
How Bmmany nights I prayed for this: to Fmlet my work begin
EbFirst we take ManDbhattan, Cthen we take BerFmlin
BmI don't like your fashion business, Fmmister
BmI don't like these drugs that keep you Fmthin
BmI don't like what happened to my Fmsister
EbFirst we take ManDbhattan, Cthen we take BerFmlin
I'd Abreally like to live beside you, Ebbaby
DbI Eblove your Abbody and your spirit and your Fmclothes
But you Absee that line there moving through the Fmstation
I Ebtold you, I Dbtold you, Ctold you I was one of Fmthose
And I Bmthank you for those items that you Fmsent me
The Bmmonkey and the plywood vioFmlin
I Bmpracticed every night now I'm Fmready
EbFirst we take ManDbhattan, Cthen we take BerFmlinEbDbC
BmRemember me, I used to live for Fmmusic
BmRemember me, I brought your groceries Fmin
Well it's BmFather's Day and everybody's Fmwounded
EbFirst we take ManDbhattan, Cthen we take BerFmlin
