Don't Want To Be Part Of Your World Lyrics - David Byrne

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 

Everywhere there's filled with children 

Say goodbye 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 

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
