[Bb] [Gm] [Gb] [Bbm]
[Bb] [Bbm]
I've heard of a town that is loaded with weapons, packed with bread and gold.
Heard of some grave sites, out by the highway, a place where nobody knows.
The sound of gunfire, far from the distance, I'm getting used to it now.
I've lived in a brownstone house, lived in a ghetto, I've been rolled over this [F] time.
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around.
That's it, I've had enough, I ain't got [Bbm] no more.
Let's get the message to the receiver, hope for an answer someday.
I've got three passports, a couple of visas, Lord, you've been known by their name.
[Bbm]
I've been to [Bb] Hell's Side, lots of glory, everything's ready to [Fm] roll out.
[Bbm]
Sleep in the day time, work in the night time, life's a journey, I've been on.
[F]
This ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around.
This ain't no mudslide, let's see the G-man.
[Bbm]
[F]
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around.
No time for dancing, no time to get covered, I ain't got time for them now.
[Bb]
Heard about Houston, heard about Detroit, heard about Pittsburgh, yeah.
You ought to know a night to stand by the window, somebody [Bbm] see you up [Eb] there.
[Bb]
I've got some post-its, some peanut butter, to last a couple of days.
[Bbm] But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones, ain't got no records to play.
[F]
What's a college, what's a night school?
Go down and get your fingers in a girl's pulse, boy.
[Eb] [F]
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around.
I told you, I'm gonna kiss you right [Fm] [Bb] now.
Trouble in transit, got to the roadblock, we've been in like a crowd.
We got computers, we're tapping phone lines, you know that that ain't a [F] lie.
[Bbm]
We dress like students, we dress like housewives, or in a suit and tie.
I've changed my hair style so many times now, but I'm not glad.
You don't have to shiver, I feel so tender, when you're burning in your teeth.
Don't get exhausted, I'm just started, [Bb] you ought to get your sleep.
I don't have no books, oh, [Bbm] I call them books, they won't help me survive.
I can't stand the pain, burns like a furnace, the burning gives me a laugh.
[Db] [Bbm]
Anybody
[F] [Eb] [Bb]
[N] have any questions?
