David Byrne - Don't Want to Be Part of Your World 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 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
