Life During Wartime |
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 Brownstone, 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 or that know |
Transmit the message to the receiver |
Hope for an answer someday |
I got three passports, a couple of visas |
You don’t even know my real name |
High on a hillside the trucks are loading |
Everything’s ready to roll |
Sleep in the daytime, work in the night time |
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 the Mudd Club or CBGB |
I ain’t got time for that now |
Heard about Houston, heard about Detroit? |
Heard about Pittsburgh, P.A. |
You’ve got to to learn not to stand by the window |
Somebody see you up there |
Ive got some groceries, some peanut butter |
To last couple of days but I ain’t got no speakers |
Ain’t got no headphones, ain’t got no records to play |
Why go to college, why go to high school? |
It will be different this time |
Can’t write a letter, can’t send a postcard |
I can write nothing at all |
This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco |
This ain’t no fooling around |
I’d like to kiss you, I’d love to hold you |
I ain’t got time for that know |
