Heard of a band that's loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Out of some great sights
Off by the highway
A place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire
All through the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone
Lived in a 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
Oh lovey 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
I sleep in the daytime I work in the night time
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 mud club or cbtb
I ain't got time for that now
Heard about houston
Heard about detroit
Heard about peaceful p a
You ought to know not to stand by the window
Somebody 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 no postcard
I ain't got tiffany now
Trouble in transit got through the road block
We blended in with the crowd
We've got computers
We're tapping phone lines
I know that bed ain't allowed
We just like students
We just 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
But all my numbers are good on numbers
But they won't help me survive
My chest is aching but
