Berlin Blues

We dared to give before the show

Tell me that today there's a place to go

Just had to look at what could be

For you and me in '83

It was out to keep them in

To keep their souls away from sin

To leave them out of the City Hall

That brought their guns and they built a wall

How many kids do you think there are?

Behind the wall there could be stars

Cruisin' around in candy cars

In the place of my guitar

It was silent, not a soul was staring at me

Someplace I don't want to be

'Cause the East is the East and the West is West

I can't help wondering about the rest

How many kids do you think there are?

Behind the wall, there could be stars

Running around in their rockin' shoes

Singing about the Berlin blues
