Song title: David Byrne - Ready For This World

Edit By: 216.73.217.179

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!
