| [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] | |
