Party Generation |
When he turned 34 but whos counting |
He couldnt find anyone who wanted to party |
So he walked around a playground with a bag of mickeys tallboys |
And he heard the sound of laughter and he followed it for fifteen blocks |
There was a house between mavis and water |
They were out on the porch, they were inside playing quarters |
And he said, «dont you know the game kazaam? |
its a better game, |
You point your elbow at someone and say somebody elses name |
And it alternates whose turn it is and if you lose you drink.» |
They said «man, you really make us think, |
Yeah you make us think and so: |
Tonight were gonna be the party |
We will party all night long |
We are the party generation |
So have a seat, whats in the bag? |
Party on. |
Round about one or two it started winding down |
And he knew what they needed- they needed donuts |
So they walked out to krispy krullers all nite sugar palace |
It was there in the doorway he said"oh, well maybe not.» |
Inside there were six women talking |
They were the most justified angry ex-girlfriends |
And they swivelled around slowly like they saw something bad |
Through the eyes I the back of their heads |
Like he always knew they had |
And they said «what a coincidence», and «hey youre just the man, |
We were saying that you did the best you could |
Youre fine we understand and so- |
Tonight were gonna be the party |
We will party all night long |
We are the party generation |
You were the best but well survive |
Party on Oh yeah… |
Oh yeah… |
Woah-oh… |
In the morning they sent him home with a designated driver |
And he lay down and thought about the whole night |
And he looked up at the photo tha the bought at a junk shop |
It was only fifty cents but he framed it and everything |
It was the kind of party that you hope never ends |
The lucky party boy surrounded by his friends |
And they were all in pointed hats |
Caught in a rebel birthday shout |
And he was at the candles with his mom there to help him out |
There was a lot that you could learn if you lay near them |
Like if you listened you could hear them and he could hear them |
They say: |
Tonight were gonna be the party |
We will party all night long |
We are the party generation |
So lift your head and blow em out |
Yeah |
Oh yeah… |
Oh yeah |
Oh yeah. |
Tonight were gonna be the party |
We will party all night long |
We are the party generation |
So lift your head lift your head |
Party on Chorus to fade out. |
