:02:04
I rose from off
of the doctor's slab

:02:08
Like Lazarus
from the pit

:02:11
Now everyone wants
to take a stab

:02:14
And decorate me
:02:15
Blood, graffiti,
and spit

:02:17
Enemies
and adversaries

:02:21
They try
and tear me down

:02:25
You want me, baby,
I dare you

:02:28
Try and tear me down.
:02:53
On August 13,
1961,

:02:55
a wall
was erected

:02:57
down the middle
of the city of Berlin.

:03:00
The world was divided
by a cold war,

:03:02
and the Berlin Wall was the most
hated symbol of that divide.

:03:06
Reviled, graffiti'd,
spit upon.

:03:09
We thought the wall
would stand forever.

:03:12
And now
that it's gone,

:03:13
we don't know
who we are anymore.

:03:17
Ladies and gentlemen,
Hedwig is like that wall,

:03:19
standing before you
in a divide

:03:21
between East
and West.

:03:23
Slavery
and freedom.

:03:25
Man and woman.
Top and bottom.

:03:29
And you can try
and tear her down,

:03:31
but before you do,
:03:33
you must remember
one thing!

:03:37
Ain't much
of a difference

:03:41
Between a bridge
and a wall

:03:44
Without me right
in the middle, babe

:03:46
Wow!
:03:48
You would be
nothing at all

:03:50
Enemies
and adversaries

:03:54
They try
and tear me down

:03:57
You want me, baby,
I dare you
