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



Don't want

Don't want

Don't want to be part of your world



Underneath the floorboards

In between the walls

Ev'rywhere is 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



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



Don't want

Don't want

Don't want to be part of your world
