Ready for This World — текст песни (David Byrne)

When I hear, laying on the ground

A machine gun is sitting on my couch

I close my eyes

I shut my mouth

Well, I cant even hear a sound

I dont know if Im ready for this world

Im not ready for this world



I knew a girl, it did not last for long

She said she changed, she said i, I was not yet grown

Well, I went back

I had to see

But another boy had replaced me

I see Im not ready for this world

Im not ready for this world



Watched my grandmom get drunk one night

We watched tv, it was black and white

She said, boy, why dont you trust no one?

Your own behind never let you down



I bought a gun, but its just for self-defense

Mmm, I seen this world, it dont make any sense

No more heartache, no more pain

Now, no ones hurting me again

Im just getting ready for this world

Im getting ready for this world



When I hear, laying on the ground

A machine gun is sitting on my couch

I close my eyes

I shut my mouth

Well,i cant even hear a sound

I dont know, I guess now Im ready for this world

Yeah, Im ready for this world

Im heading up this world!
