Bilingual
Heard of a van, loaded up with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of a grave site, out by the highway
A place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
I've lived in brownstones, 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, nor 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
Sleep in the daytime, work in nighttime
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, nor 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 high school?
It will be different this time
I 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 fuck you
I ain't got time for that now
