Dont Want To Be Part Of Your World - Lyrics by David Byrne


Lyrics
Little girls go float upstream
Some a' them never comin' back
We are powerless to stop them
As they vanish from our sight
Little boys dig tunnels
Into the ground they go
Hundreds of them, disappear
Little soldiers on patrol
Singing
Don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
Underneath the floorboards
In between the walls
Ev'rywhere there's filled with children
Say good-bye to boys and girls
We promise to be better
Said the folks at home
But it really doesn't matter
Said their daughters and their sons
Singing
Don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
Free from greed and hunger
Free from hate and war
Thousands of them altogether
We are here and
There they are
Singing
Don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
And we don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
No we don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
No we don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
No we don't want
Don't want
Don't want to be part of your world
No we don't ...
