[length: 03:42]
[00:13.35]Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
[00:18.15]Packed up and ready to go
[00:21.88]Heard of some grave sites out by the highway
[00:25.42]A place where nobody knows
[00:29.02]The sound of gunfire off in the distance
[00:32.43]I’m getting used to it now
[00:36.29]Lived in a brownstone, I lived in the ghetto
[00:39.33]I’ve lived all over this town
[00:43.60]This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
[00:47.92]This ain’t no fooling around
[00:50.73]No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
[00:54.38]I ain’t got time for that now
[00:58.77]Transmit the message to the receiver
[01:01.45]Hope for an answer some day
[01:05.39]I got three passports, couple of visas
[01:08.83]Don’t even know my real name
[01:12.47]High on a hillside trucks are loading
[01:16.07]Everything’s ready to roll
[01:19.75]I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime
[01:23.03]I might not ever get home
[01:26.95]This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
[01:30.94]This ain’t no fooling around
[01:34.00]This ain’t no mudd club, or C.B.G.B.
[01:37.96]I ain’t got time for that now
[01:57.87]This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
[02:00.01]This ain’t no fooling around
[02:01.68]No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
[02:02.55]I ain’t got time for that now
[02:03.21]Heard about houston? heard about detroit?
[02:04.13]Heard about pittsburgh, PA?
[02:05.31]You oughta know not to stand by the window
[02:08.87]Somebody might see you up there
[02:10.79]I got some groceries, some peanut butter
[02:14.89]To last a couple of days
[02:17.79]But I ain’t got no speakers, ain’t got no headphones
[02:21.42]Ain’t got no records to play
[02:24.94]Why stay in college? why go to night school?
[02:28.69]Gonna be different this time?
[02:32.35]Can’t write a letter, can’t send a postcard
[02:35.84]I can’t write nothing at all
[02:39.91]This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
[02:42.09]This ain’t no fooling around
[02:42.82]I’d love you hold you, I’d like to kiss you
[02:43.48]I ain’t got no time for that now
[02:44.25]Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
[02:45.32]We blended in with the crowd
[02:46.81]We got computers, we’re tapping phone lines
[02:50.22]I know that ain’t allowed
[02:54.49]We dress like students, we dress like housewives
[02:57.27]Or in a suit and a tie
[03:01.05]I changed my hairstyle so many times now
[03:04.34]Don’t know what I look like
[03:08.11]You make me shiver, I feel so tender
[03:11.85]We make a pretty good team
[03:15.70]Don’t get exhausted, I’ll do some driving
[03:19.08]You ought to get you some sleep
[03:22.56]Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks?
[03:25.98]They won’t help me survive
[03:29.84]My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
[03:32.68]The burning keeps me alive
