Life During Wartime - David Byrne
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
This ain't no mudd club or C B G B
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
Sleep in the daytime 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
I 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
