lyrics

Nouveauberlin
They build the pipes to the sky
They took the lost ones home
Feed them fat, never die
Horseback militia
Shoot the bridge out from under
Make them dazed, leave them wondering
How they got there

Oberlin
Every city has a street
Where the stubborn wood of houses
Gets piled up on concrete
Block out the sun
Make Hillsborough liveable
Despite unforgivable
Velvet cloaks and missing teeth

Oh, Berlin
It’s either you or it’s me
Who gets to travel to who
Who gets to smile when we meet
Who gets to say
“Yeah I knew them when
They were yelling at their friends
To help them up”

Who gets to say
“Yeah I knew them when
They were clogging up the pen
With their anger”
Who gets to say
“Yeah I knew them when
They were buried with the men
They were always
After”
Nouveauberlin
Oberlin
Oh, Berlin.
