David Byrne - Ready For This World Lyrics
When I hear, laying on the groundA machine gun is sitting on my couchI close my eyesI shut my mouthWell, I cant even hear a soundI dont know if Im ready for this worldIm not ready for this worldI knew a girl, it did not last for longShe said she changed, she said i, I was not yet grownWell, I went backI had to seeBut another boy had replaced meI see Im not ready for this worldIm not ready for this worldWatched my grandmom get drunk one nightWe watched tv, it was black and whiteShe said, boy, why dont you trust no one?Your own behind never let you downI bought a gun, but its just for self-defenseMmm, I seen this world, it dont make any senseNo more heartache, no more painNow, no ones hurting me againIm just getting ready for this worldIm getting ready for this worldWhen I hear, laying on the groundA machine gun is sitting on my couchI close my eyesI shut my mouthWell,i cant even hear a soundI dont know, I guess now Im ready for this worldYeah, Im ready for this worldIm heading up this world!
