Don't Want to Be Part of Your World - 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
