歌词

[00:16.82] Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
[00:20.26] Packed up and ready to go
[00:23.93] Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway
[00:27.31] A place where nobody knows
[00:30.72] The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
[00:34.24] I'm getting used to it now
[00:37.87] Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto
[00:41.29] I've lived all over this town
[00:45.01] This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
[00:48.48] This ain't no fooling around
[00:52.05] No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
[00:55.63] I ain't got time for that now
[00:59.10] Transmit the message, to the receiver
[01:02.61] Hope for an answer some day
[01:06.02] I got three passports, couple of visas
[01:10.12] Don't even know my real name
[01:13.38] High on a hillside, trucks are loading
[01:17.01] Everything's ready to roll
[01:20.43] I sleep in the daytime, i work in the nightime
[01:24.21] I might not ever get home
[01:27.42] This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
[01:31.05] This ain't no fooling around
[01:34.87] This ain't no mudd club, or c. b. g. b.
[01:38.14] I ain't got time for that now
[01:57.03] Heard about houston? heard about detroit?
[01:59.51] Heard about pittsburgh, p. a.?
[02:02.99] You oughta know not to stand by the window
[02:06.70] Somebody might see you up there
[02:10.03] I got some groceries, some peanut butter
[02:13.70] To last a couple of days
[02:16.87] But i ain't got no speakers
[02:19.09] Ain't got no headphones
[02:20.85] Ain't got no records to play
[02:24.03] Why stay in college? why go to night school?
[02:27.76] Gonna be different this time?
[02:31.63] Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard
[02:34.65] I ain't got no time for that now
[02:38.32] Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
[02:42.09] We blended in with the crowd
[02:44.80] We got computers, we're tapping phone lines
[02:49.16] I know that ain't allowed
[02:52.32] We dress like students, we dress like housewives
[02:56.11] Or in a suit and a tie
[02:59.44] I changed my hairstyle so many times now
[03:03.10] I don't know what i look like!
[03:06.53] You make me shiver, i feel so tender
[03:10.05] We make a pretty good team
[03:13.67] Don't get exhausted, i'll do some driving
[03:17.20] You ought to get you some sleep
[03:20.76] Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks?
[03:24.43] They won't help me survive
[03:28.05] My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
[03:31.46] The burning keeps me alive
