[ti: Life During Wartime (Alternate Version)]
[length: 04:05]
[00:02.75]Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
[00:06.38]Packed up and ready to go
[00:09.93]Heard of some gravesides, out by the highway
[00:12.66]A place where nobody knows
[00:18.05]The sound of gunfire off in the distance
[00:20.79]I’m getting used to it now
[00:24.32]Lived on brownstone, lived in the ghetto
[00:27.96]I’ve lived all over this town
[00:32.57]This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
[00:35.25]This ain’t no fooling around
[00:38.86]No time for dancing or lovey dovey
[00:42.40]I ain’t got time for that now
[00:46.07]Transmit the message to the receiver
[00:49.63]Hope for an answer some day
[00:53.20]I got three passports, couple of visas
[00:56.87]You don’t even know my real name
[01:00.45]High on a hillside, the trucks are loading
[01:04.03]Everything’s ready to roll
[01:07.60]I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime
[01:11.36]I might not ever get home
[01:14.91]This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
[01:19.47]This ain’t no fooling around
[01:23.01]This ain’t no mudd club, or C.B.G.B.
[01:26.66]I ain’t got time for that now
[01:30.28]Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
[01:34.79]Heard about Pittsburgh, P A?
[01:38.37]You oughta know not to stand by the window
[01:41.10]Somebody see you up there
[01:44.73]I got some groceries, some peanut butter
[01:48.31]To last a couple of days
[01:51.01]But I ain’t got no speakers, ain’t got no headphones
[01:55.58]Ain’t got no records to play
[01:59.10]Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
[02:02.75]Gonna be different this time?
[02:06.35]Can’t write a letter, can’t send no postcard
[02:09.95]I ain’t got no time for that now
[02:14.55]Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
[02:17.28]We blended in with the crowd
[02:21.73]We got computers, we’re tapping phone lines
[02:24.42]I know that all ain’t allowed
[02:28.94]We dress like students, we dress like housewives
[02:31.68]Or in a suit and a tie
[02:35.23]I changed my hairstyle so many times now
[02:39.70]I don’t know what I look like
[02:42.43]You make me shiver, I feel so tender
[02:46.03]We make a pretty good team
[02:50.68]Don’t get exhausted, I’ll do some driving
[02:54.27]You ought to get you some sleep
[02:57.85]Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks?
[03:00.59]They won’t help me survive
[03:05.03]My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
[03:07.77]The burning keeps me alive
[03:12.26]Get your instructions, follow directions
[03:15.05]Then you should change your address
[03:19.53]Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day
[03:23.15]Whatever you think is best
[03:26.74]Try to stay healthy, physical fitness
[03:30.30]Don’t wanna catch no disease
[03:33.96]Try to be careful, don’t take no chances
[03:37.57]You better watch what you say
