Chords - v1

Intro: Am (Am /G /F# F) x2  then Am

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 brownstone, lived in the ghetto, I've lived all over this town

E

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 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 mud club, or CBGB, I ain't got time for that now

Solo Verse Am

chorus 1

Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?  Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?

You oughta know not to stand by the window, somebody might 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 wanna hold you, I wanna kiss you, I ain't got 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, burns like a furnace, the burning keeps me alive
