Party Generation Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G C Am D (4x) G
When he turned 34, but who's counting
He couldn't find anyone who wanted to party
So he walked around a playground with a bag of Mickey's 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, "Don't you know the game Kazaam? It's a better game,
You point your elbow at someone and say somebody else's 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..."
CHORUS:
Tonight we're gonna be the party
We will party all night long__
We are the party generation
So have a seat, what's in the bag?
Party on
'Round about 1:00 or 2:00 it started winding down
And he knew what they needed, they needed doughnuts
So they walked out to Krispy Kruller's All Nite Sugar Palace
It was there at 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 in the back of their heads, like he always knew they had
And they said, "What a coincidence" and "Hey you're just the man,
We were saying that you did the best you could, you're fine, we understand
And so..."
CHORUS:
Tonight we're gonna be the party (party)
We will party all night long__
We are the party generation
You were the best, but we'll survive
Party On
BRIDGE:
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, woah

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 that he got 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...
CHORUS:
Tonight we're gonna be the party (party)
We will party all night long__
We are the party generation
So lift your head, lift your head
Blow them out
CHORUS:
Tonight we're gonna be the party (party)
We will party all night long__
We are the party generation
So lift your head, blow 'em out
Yeah
BRIDGE:
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, woah
CHORUS: (## fade to end ##)
Tonight we're gonna be the party (party)
We will party all night long__
We are the party generation
So lift your head, blow 'em out
Yeah
