Berlin - The Metro (Official Video)

Is a New Wave song written by John Crawford for his band, Berlin. The song has been covered by a number of artists, including System of a Down, Alkaline Trio, John Frusciante, Hannah Fury and Idle Warship.
The song first appeared on Berlin's breakthrough album Pleasure Victim, released on the independent label Enigma in 1982 and re-released on Geffen in 1983.

The video became a part of the "Berlin Video 45" Geffen-VHS home video, released in 1984.
