[00:28.81] Heard a of van that is loaded with weapons,
[00:32.11] packed up and ready to go
[00:34.24]
[00:35.48] Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway,
[00:38.48]
[00:39.17] a place where nobody knows
[00:40.66]
[00:42.35] The sound of gunfire, off in the distance,
[00:45.22]
[00:45.84] I'm getting used to it now
[00:47.59]
[00:49.28] Lived in a brownstore, lived in the ghetto,
[00:51.96]
[00:52.77] I've lived all over this town
[00:54.52]
[00:56.20] This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
[00:58.95]
[00:59.76] this ain't no fooling around
[01:01.13]
[01:03.31] No time for dancing, or lovey dovey,
[01:05.81]
[01:06.75] I ain't got time for that now
[01:08.62]
[01:10.24] Transmit the message, to the receiver,
[01:12.86]
[01:13.68] hope for an answer some day
[01:15.23]
[01:16.17] I got three passports, a couple of visas,
[01:20.11]
[01:20.85] you don't even know my real name
[01:22.85]
[01:24.34] High on a hillside, the trucks are loading,
[01:27.66] everything's ready to roll
[01:28.83]
[01:31.21] I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime,
[01:34.01]
[01:34.58] I might not ever get home
[01:36.38]
[01:38.08] This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
[01:40.75]
[01:41.57] this ain't no fooling around
[01:42.81]
[01:45.19] This ain't no mudd club, or C. B. G. B.,
[01:48.63] I ain't got time for that now
[01:53.44]
[02:05.98] This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
[02:08.60]
[02:09.29] this ain't no fooling around
[02:11.73]
[02:13.61] This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
[02:16.23] I ain't got time for that now
[02:18.59]
[02:19.91] Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
[02:22.30]
[02:23.18] Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.?
[02:24.86]
[02:26.61] You oughta know not to stand by the window
[02:29.29]
[02:29.98] somebody might see you up there
[02:31.85]
[02:33.42] I got some some groceries, peant butter,
[02:36.25]
[02:36.93] to last a couple of days
[02:38.43]
[02:39.37] But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no
[02:43.18] headphones, ain't got no records to play
[02:45.54]
[02:47.10] Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
[02:50.09]
[02:50.66] Gonna be different this time
[02:52.03]
[02:54.09] Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard,
[02:57.02]
[02:57.58] I can't write nothing at all
[02:59.33]
[03:01.08] This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
[03:03.83]
[03:04.58] this ain't no fooling around
[03:07.25]
[03:08.12] I'd love you hold you, I'd like to kiss you
[03:11.08] I ain't got no time for that now
[03:13.64]
[03:15.26] Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock,
[03:18.56] we blended with the crowd
[03:19.93]
[03:21.86] We got computer, we're tapping pohne lines,
[03:24.68]
[03:25.55] I know that ain't allowed
[03:26.80]
[03:28.80] We dress like students, we dress like housewives,
[03:31.55]
[03:32.29] or in a suit and a tie
[03:34.59]
[03:36.10] I changed my hairstyle, so many times now,
[03:38.54]
[03:39.49] I don't know what I look like!
[03:41.42]
[03:42.62] You make me shiver, I feel so tender,
[03:45.48]
[03:46.04] we make a pretty good team
[03:47.73]
[03:49.48] Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving,
[03:52.04] you ought to get some sleep,Burned all my notebooks, what good arenotebooks
