    Music and lyrics by Stephen Trask.
    Hedwig

    Don't you know me, Kansas City?
    I'm the new Berlin Wall.
    Try and tear me down!

    I was born on the other side
    of a town ripped in two
    I made it over the great divide
    Well now I'm coming for you

    Chorus

    Enemies and adversaries
    they try and tear me down
    You want me, baby, I dare you
    Try and tear me down

    Hedwig

    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

    Enemies and adversaries
    they try and tear me down
    You want me, baby, I dare you
    Try and tear me down

    Yitzhak

    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 Gentleman,
    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 and tear her down,
    but before you do,
    you must remember one thing! Hey.

    Hedwig

    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

    Enemies and adversaries
    they try and tear me down
    You want me, baby, I dare you
    try and tear me down.

    Enemies and adversaries
    they try and tear me down
    You want me, baby, I dare you
    try and tear me down.

    Hedwig

    From East Berlin
    to Junction City.
    Hello, New York.
    Hello, Missouri.
    What?
    Try and tear me down?

    Come on and tear...
    Come on and tear...
    me down.
