| Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
|
| Packed up and ready to go
|
| Heard of some grave sites out by the highway
|
| A place where nobody knows
|
| The sound of gunfire off in the distance
|
| I’m getting used to it now
|
| Lived in a brownstone, I lived in the ghetto
|
| I’ve lived all over this town
|
| This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
|
| This ain’t no fooling around
|
| No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
|
| I ain’t got time for that now
|
| Transmit the message to the receiver
|
| Hope for an answer some day
|
| I got three passports, couple of visas
|
| Don’t even know my real name
|
| High on a hillside trucks are loading
|
| Everything’s ready to roll
|
| I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime
|
| I might not ever get home
|
| This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
|
| This ain’t no fooling around
|
| This ain’t no mudd club, or C.B.G.B
|
| I ain’t got time for that now
|
| This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
|
| This ain’t no fooling around
|
| No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
|
| I ain’t got time for that now
|
| Heard about houston? |
| heard about detroit?
|
| Heard about pittsburgh, PA?
|
| You oughta know not to stand by the window
|
| Somebody might see you up there
|
| I got some groceries, some peanut butter
|
| To last a couple of days
|
| But I ain’t got no speakers, ain’t got no headphones
|
| Ain’t got no records to play
|
| Why stay in college? |
| why go to night school?
|
| Gonna be different this time?
|
| Can’t write a letter, can’t send a postcard
|
| I can’t write nothing at all
|
| This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
|
| This ain’t no fooling around
|
| I’d love you hold you, I’d like to kiss you
|
| I ain’t got no time for that now
|
| Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
|
| We blended in with the crowd
|
| We got computers, we’re tapping phone lines
|
| I know that ain’t allowed
|
| We dress like students, we dress like housewives
|
| Or in a suit and a tie
|
| I changed my hairstyle so many times now
|
| Don’t know what I look like
|
| You make me shiver, I feel so tender
|
| We make a pretty good team
|
| Don’t get exhausted, I’ll do some driving
|
| You ought to get you some sleep
|
| Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks?
|
| They won’t help me survive
|
| My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
|
| The burning keeps me alive |
