Dar Williams - Party Generation Lyrics
Words and music by dar williamsWhen he turned 34 but whos countingHe couldnt find anyone who wanted to partySo he walked around a playground with a bag of mickeys tallboysAnd he heard the sound of laughter and he followed it for fifteen blocksThere was a house between mavis and waterThey were out on the porch, they were inside playing quartersAnd he said, dont you know the game kazaam? its a better game,You point your elbow at someone and say somebody elses nameAnd 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 partyWe will party all night longWe are the party generationSo have a seat, whats in the bag?Party on.Round about one or two it started winding downAnd he knew what they needed- they needed donutsSo they walked out to krispy krullers all nite sugar palaceIt was there in the doorway he saidoh, well maybe not.Inside there were six women talkingThey were the most justified angry ex-girlfriendsAnd they swivelled around slowly like they saw something badThrough the eyes I the back of their headsLike he always knew they hadAnd they said what a coincidence ,and hey youre just the man,We were saying that you did the best you couldYoure fine we understand and so-Tonight were gonna be the partyWe will party all night longWe are the party generationYou were the best but well surviveParty onOh yeah..........Oh yeah..........Woah-oh...........In the morning they sent him home with a designated driverAnd he lay down and thought about the whole nightAnd he looked up at the photo tha the bought at a junk shopIt was only fifty cents but he framed it and everythingIt was the kind of party that you hope never endsThe lucky party boy surrounded by his friendsAnd they were all in pointed hatsCaught in a rebel birthday shoutAnd he was at the candles with his mom there to help him outThere was a lot that you could learn if you lay near themLike if you listened you could hear them and he could hear themThey say:Tonight were gonna be the partyWe will party all night longWe are the party generationSo lift your head and blow em outYeahOh yeah...Oh yeahOh yeah..Tonight were gonna be the partyWe will party all night longWe are the party generationSo lift your head lift your headParty onChorus to fade out..
