"First We Take Manhattan" is a song written by Leonard Cohen. It was originally recorded by Jennifer Warnes on her 1987 album Famous Blue Raincoat, which consisted entirely of songs written or co-written by Cohen. ...
Gwynne Dyer suspects the song refers to the "naivety and narcissism" of the West German Red Army Faction, "...designer terrorism by celebrity terrorists, as much about radical chic as about real politics."[3] (The German-language speech at the beginning and end of Warnes' recording is from a news broadcast about an attack by the Red Army Faction on the German Arab society of West Berlin in 1986.)

Кавер Джо Кокера вышел в 1999г., незадолго до трагедии, которая изначально не имелась ввиду (наверное). И видеоряд загрузили уже соответствующий.
