Spoken part:
N.C.On August 13th, 1961
A augmentedA wall was erected
Down the middle of the city of Berlin
N.C.The world was divided by a cold war
And the Berlin wall
Was the most hated symbol of that divide
N.C.Reviled, graffitied, spit upon
We thought the wall would stand forever.
And now that it's gone
N.C.We don't know who we are anymore
Ladies and gentlemen
Hedwig is like that wall
N.C.Standing before you in the divide
Between east and west
Slavery and freedom
N.C.Man and woman, top and bottom
And you can try and tear her down
But before you do
N.C.You must remember one thing
Verse:
C7C7 F7F7
Hey, there ain't much of a difference
Bb7Bb7 C7C7
Between a bridge and a wall
C7C7 F7F7
Without me right in the middle, babe
Bb7Bb7 C7C7
You would be nothin' at all
Chorus:
C7C7 F7F7
Enemies and adversaries
