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 |
