[F] [Am]
I heard of a vial of iron [A] loaded with weapons packed up and [Am] ready to throw.
Heard of some gravesites out on the highway, that's what nobody knows.
Son of gunfire, off in the distance, I'm getting used to it now.
Lived in a brown snow mountain, lived in a ghetto, I've lived all over the sky.
[E] Sing a party, sing a disco, sing a party [Bm] tonight.
[E] Sing a butt club, or CBG day, I ain't got time for that now.
[Am] A pamphlet message to the receiver, hope for an answer [Em] someday.
[Am] I got three passports, a couple of fees as well, you don't even know my real [D] [Am] name.
[A] High on the [Am] hillside, truck's been loaded, everything's ready to roll.
[A] [Am] Sleep in the daytime, work in the night time, I might not ever get home.
[E] Sing a party, sing a disco, sing a party tonight.
Sing a butt club, or CBG day, I ain't got time for that now.

[E] Sing a party, sing a disco, sing a party tonight.
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey, I ain't got time for that now.
[A] [Am] Heard about Houston, heard about Detroit, heard about Pittsburgh here.
[D] [Am] You ought to know not to stand by the window, somebody [A] see you up there.
I got [Am] some groceries, some peanut butter, lost a [A] couple of days.
But I [Am] ain't got no speakers and I ain't got no headphones and I ain't got no records to play.
[Em] I stay in [E] college, why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time.
Can't live in a cellar, can't send no postcards, I can't have nothing at all.
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' [Em] around.
[E] I'd love to hold you and I'd love to kiss you but I ain't got time for that now.
[Am] Double the press, up to the robot, we've been eating with the press.
We got computers, well, we're tapping phone lines, I know that that ain't a lie.
We dress like students, we dress like housewives, all in a suit and a tie.
Changed my hairstyle so many times now, I don't know what I look like.
[A] You make me shiver, [Am]
I feel so tender, we [D] make a pretty [Am] good team.
Don't get exhausted, well, I'll do some driving, [A] you wanna get you some sleep.
[Am] But all my notebooks, they won't help me sleep at night.
My chest is aching and it burns like a furnace, well, the burning keeps me alive.
