19 LIFE DURING WARTIME

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway
A place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I`m getting used it now
Lived in Brownstone, lived in Ghetto
I`ve lived all over this town
This ain`t no party, this ain`t no disco
This ain`t no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovely dovey
I ain`t got time for that now
Transmit the message to the receiver,
Hope for an answer someday
I got three passports, a couple of visas
You don`t even know my real name
High on a hillside the 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 the Mudd Club, or CBGB
I ain`t got time for that now
Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, P.A.?
You`ve got to learn not to stand by the window
Somebody see you up there
I`ve got some groceries
Some peanut butter
To last couple of days
But I ain`t got no speakers
Ain`t got no headphones
Ain`t got no records to play
Why go to college, why go to highschool?
It will be different this time
Can`t write a letter, can`t send a postcard
I can write nothing at all
This ain`t no party, this ain`t no disco
This ain`t no fooling around
I`d like to kiss you, I`d love to hold you
I ain`t got time for that now
