The Berlin Wall

What should I write on the Berlin Wall?
It's the chance of a lifetime... across the street from my luxury condo in downtown Sofia there is a section of the Berlin Wall, in the middle of a park.
I didn't have my grafitti supplies with me the first time around, when I was in Berlin in the summer of '90, but this time I am equipped and ready. Sadly, I have no original ideas and turn to the wit and wisdom of the hive mind to direct me.
I want text. Short, pithy, postmodern, ironic. German would be good but isn't essential.
My rejected ideas so far:
"Now I've got a reason, and I'm still waiting." - rejected because although it is a cute Sex Pistols reference, it doesn't really resonate, and I don't really understand the lyric.
"It sounded good in theory," written in German - rejected because it doesn't meet enough of my above criteria.
This is going to happen in the next few days. Best answer gets painted on the wall.
For those of you wanting to tell me not to deface an historical monument: STFU; that is not an answer to my question; I be making history.
Thanks in advance for your attention and consideration.

From Sofia to Berlin, and every disco I get in, my heart is pumping for love.

This is bordering chat-filter, but "This is not a wall" (in German).
