[Primera Parte]

Am (Riff 1)
   Heard of a van that is loaded 

With weapons packed up and ready to go
(Riff 1)
Heard of some gravesites

Out by the highway a place where nobody knows
(Riff 1)
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance

I'm getting used to it now
(Riff 1)
Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto

I've lived all over this town

[Estribillo]

E   (Riff 2)
  This ain't no party, this ain't no disco

This ain't no fooling around
(Riff 2)
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey 

I ain't got time for that now

[Segunda Parte]

Am   (Riff 1)
   Transmit the message, to the receiver

Hope for an answer some day
(Riff 1)
I got three passports, couple of visas

Don't even know my real name
(Riff 1)
High on a hillside, trucks are loading

Everything's ready to roll
(Riff 1)
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime

I might not ever get home

[Estribillo]

E   (Riff 2)
  This ain't no party, this ain't no disco

This ain't no fooling around
(Riff 2)
This ain't no mudd club, or C B G 

I ain't got time for that now

[Solo] Am

[Tercera Parte]

Am  (Riff 1)
   Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?  

Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?
(Riff 1)
You oughta know not to stand by the window

Somebody might see you up there
(Riff 1)
I got some groceries, some peanut butter

To last a couple of days
(Riff 1)
But I ain't got no speakers

Ain't got no headphones

Ain't got no records to play

[Estribillo 2]

E  (Riff 2)
  Why stay in college? why go to night school?  

Gonna be different this time?
(Riff 2)
Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard

I can't write nothing at all
(Riff 2)
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco

This ain't no fooling around
(Riff 2)
I'd love you hold you, I'd like to kiss you 

I ain't got no time for that now

[Cuarta Parte]

Am   (Riff 1)
   Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock

We blended in with the crowd
(Riff 1)
We got computers, we're tapping phone lines

I know that ain't allowed
(Riff 1)
We dress like students

we dress like housewives, or in a suit and a tie
(Riff 1)
I changed my hairstyle so many times now 

Don't know what I look like!
(Riff 1)
You make me shiver, I feel so tender

We make a pretty good team
(Riff 1)
Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving

You ought to get you some sleep
(Riff 1)
Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks?

They won't help me survive
(Riff 1)
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace

The burning keeps me alive
