Life During Wartime by Talking Heads


Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons

Packed up and ready to go

Heard of some grave sites 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 brownstone i 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 couple of visas

Don't even know my real name

 

High on a hillside trucks are loading

Everything's ready to roll i i

I sleep in the daytime i work in the nigh 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 c. b. g. b.

I ain't got time for that now

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

 

Heard about houston? heard about detroit?

Heard about pittsburgh pa?

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 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 love you hold you i'd like to kiss you

But i ain't got no time for that now

 

Trouble in transit got through the roadblock

We blended in with the crowd

We got computers we're tapping phone 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

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

 

Burned all my notebooks what good are notebooks?

They won't help me survive

My chest is aching and it burns like a furnace

The burning keeps me alive
