[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]
