[E] [F#m]
[F] [A]
Heard of a farm that is loaded with weapons, packed with red and [E] gold.
[A]
Heard of some grave sites out by the highway, a place where nobody [Em] knows.
[A]
The sound of gunfire off in the distance, I'm getting used [Am] to it now.
Lived in a [A] brownstone house, lived in a ghetto, I've been rolled up on this [C] tile.
[E]
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' around.
No time for dancing, or lovin' lovin', I ain't got time for that now.
[A]
I'm gonna send a message to the receiver, hope for an answer someday.
[Am]
Three passports, couple of visas, Lord you've been thrown out of your [Em] name.
[Am]
High on [A] the hillside, puts a load in, everything's ready to roll.
Sleep in the daytime, work in the nighttime, I can't hear my head [C] honk.
[E]
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' [Bm] around.
[A] [E]
Lord, when the muck runs, I see the TV, [Am] I'm ready to roll.
[A] [Am]
[E]
This ain't no disco, [B] this ain't no foolin' around.
[E]
No time for dancing, or lovin' lovin'.
[G] [E]
Heard about Houston, heard about Detroit, heard about Pittsburgh, PA.
You oughta know now to stand by the window, somebody see you up there.
[Em] [A] I [E] got 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 [C] play.
[E] Why stay in college?
Why go to night school?
Gonna make a business out of it, can't save no postcard.
[Bm] [E]
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' around.
All of the hoes here wanna kiss you, but [B]
trouble in transit, got through the roadblock.
We've been meeting with the crowd.
[E] We got computers, we're tapping phone lines, know that that ain't enough.
We dress like students, we dress like housewives, or in a suit [A] and a tie.
Changed my hairstyle so many times now, [Em] don't know what [B] I look like.
[A] You make the shiver feel so tender, we make a pretty good team.
Don't get exhausted, I'm just a pilot, you wanna get you some sleep.
But all my hoes, they won't help me survive.
My chest is air-dependent, burns like a furnace, a burning gives me a laugh.
