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,
Im getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstore, lived in the ghetto,
Ive lived all over this town
This aint no party, this aint no disco,
This aint no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey,
I aint got time for that now
Transmit the message, to the receiver,
Hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, a couple of visas,
You dont even know my real name
High on a hillside, the trucks are loading,
Everythings ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime,
I might not ever get home
This aint no party, this aint no disco,
This aint no fooling around
This aint no mudd club, or c. b. g. b.,
I aint got time for that now
Heard about houston? heard about detroit?
Heard about pittsburgh, p. a.?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
Somebody might see you up there
I got some groceries, some peant butter,
To last a couple of days
But I aint got no speakers, aint got no
Heaphones, aint got no records to play
Why stay in college? why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time
Cant write a letter, cant send a postcard,
I cant write nothing at all
This aint no party, this aint no disco,
This aint no fooling around
Id like to kiss you, Id love you hold you
I aint got no time for that now
Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock,
We blended with the crowd
We got computer, were tapping pohne lines,
I know that aint allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives,
Or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle, so many times now,
I dont know what I look like!
You make me shiver, I feel so tender,
We make a pretty good team
Dont get exhausted, Ill do some driving,
You ought to get some sleep
Get you instructions, follow directions,
Then you should change your address
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day,
Whatever you think is best
Burned all my notebooks, what good are
Notebooks? they wont help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace,
The burning keeps me alive
Try to stay healthy, physical fitness,
Dont want to catch no disease
Try to be careful, dont take no chances,
You better watch what you say
