Ain't no use in crying like the others
Were fools in need, fools to believe,
There are fools in need, to foolish to believe
I'm gonna, uh somebody, uh somebody

It ain't no use in trying to deceive
I've been fooled by the lover, fooled by the sinner, fooled myself into thinking I was living
I'm fighting just to breathe as I get back off my knees
Help me somebody

The lyrics to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's song Berlin tell a story of a tumultuous relationship between two lovers who are fighting with each other. The singer implores his partner to have a little love even as they struggle with each other, knowing that there is no use in crying like others. The couple is foolish in their need for each other and their belief that they can make it work. The singer has been fooled before, by both lover and sinner, and begins fighting just to breathe as he gets back off his knees. He asks for someone to help him as he tries to regain control of his life.
In the second verse, the singer's lover speaks and asks what happened to the revolution. She says that suicide is easy and questions where their passion and fight have gone. The chorus repeats the sentiment that they are heavy little lovers who are fighting with each other but there is no use in suffering like the others because they are fools in need and to foolish to believe. The song ends with the singer and his lover both saying that somebody is going to get hurt while questioning what happened to the revolution.
Overall, "Berlin" is a song about the struggles of a relationship that has lost its passion and the singers battling to regain control of his life. It also delves into themes of revolution and suicide, suggesting a need for change and a desire for something more meaningful.
