Don't Want To Be A 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
