[Verse]
Am
Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
packed up and ready to go
Am
Heard of some gravesites,
out by the highway a place where nobody knows
Am
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance,
I'm getting used to it now
Am
Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto,
I've lived all over this town
[Chorus]
E
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
this ain't no fooling around
E
No time for dancing, or lovey-dovey,
I ain't got time for that now
