_ I heard of van that is loaded with weapons, _ packed up ready to go.
[Em] _
_ [A] _ Heard of some grave sites, out by the highway, _ a place where nobody [Am] knows. _
_ It's kind of [A] fun for, off in the distance, _ I'm getting used to it [Am] now.
_ Lived in a brownstone house, lived in a ghetto, _ I've lived all over this town.
_ [E] This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, _ this ain't no pool in your eyes.
[A] _
_ [E] _ It's time for dancing, _ I'm not a joke, _ I'm in the trouble. _ _ _
_ [Am] _ I'm going to send a message to the receiver, hope I'm going to answer something. _ _
_ _ Three [A] passports, couple of visas, _ Lord you've been known by my [Em] name.
[Bm] _ [Am] _ I'm on the [A] hillside, _ floating, _ _ everything's ready to [Em] roll out.
I [A] _ sleep in the daytime, _ work in the nighttime.
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [E] _ This ain't no party, _ this ain't no disco, this ain't no pool in your eyes.
[A] _ [E] _ This ain't no mud bath, I sleep in the evening. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [E] _ This ain't no party, _ this ain't no disco, _ this ain't no pool in your eyes. _
_ No time for dancing, I'm not a joke. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Heard about [A] Houston, _ [Em] heard about Deacmon, _ heard about Pittsburgh, yeah.
[A] _ _
_ You ought to know not [Am] to stand by the window, _ somebody see you up _ there.
I've got some wolf whiz, [A] some peanut butter, to last a couple of days.
[G]
But [Am] I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones, [Em] ain't got no records to play. _
[E] _ Watch me in college, watch me go to night school.
But I'm a dip in the _ tide, _ ain't got a letter, I'm dressing up all style.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [E] This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no pool in your _ _ eyes.
I'm gonna hold you, I'm gonna kiss you. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock.
We've [Em] been knitting with the crowd. _ _
_ [E] [Am] We got [A] computers, [Em] we're tapping phone [A] lines.
Know that that ain't a lie.
[Am] _ _
_ We dress like [A] humans, [C] we dress like [A] housewives.
Or in [Em] a suit and tie.
[Am] _ _
_ Changed my hairstyle so many times now.
[A] You don't know what I look like. _
You make me shiver, I [Am] feel so tender.
We ain't got plenty to feed. _ _
Don't get exhausted, _ I'll do some diving.
You don't wanna get to sleep. _ _
[A] Burn on and on, no facts and no numbers.
They won't help me survive. _ _
That's just the way I am, burn like a furnace.
The burning gives me a laugh.
