Life During Wartime (Live)

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 to it now
Lived in a brownstore  lived in the 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 lovey dovey
I ain't 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 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 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 no mudd club  or C  B  G  B
I ain't 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 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 a postcard
I can't 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 you hold you
I ain't got no time for that now
Trouble in transit  got through the roadblock
We blended with the crowd
We got computer  we're tapping pohne lines
I know that ain't 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 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 some sleep Burned all my notebooks  what good arenotebooks
