• 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

[Chorus: John Cameron Mitchell & Miriam Shor]
Enemies and adversaries
They try and tear me down
You want me, baby, I dare you
Try and tear me down

[Verse 2: John Cameron Mitchell]
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

[Chorus: John Cameron Mitchell & Miriam Shor]

[Bridge: Miriam Shor]
"On August 13th, 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 in 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, you must remember one thing!"

Hey!

[Verse 3: John Cameron Mitchell]
There ain't much of a difference
Between a bridge and a wall
Without me right in the middle, babe
You would be nothing at all

[Chorus x2: John Cameron Mitchell & Miriam Shor]

[Outro: John Cameron Mitchell]
From East Berlin, to Junction City
Hello New York, hello Missouri!
What you try and tear me down
Come on and tear
Come on and tear me down
