Party Generation Lyrics


When he turned 34
But who's counting
He couldn't find anyone
Who wanted to partySo 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 blocksThere 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"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 onRound about one or two
It started winding down
And he knew what they needed
They needed donutsSo they walked out to
Krispy Kruller's 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 in the back of their heads
Like he always knew they hadAnd 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"Tonight we're gonna be the party
We will party all night long
We are the party generation
You were the best but we'll survive, party onOh yeah
Oh yeah
Woah-ohIn the morning they sent him home
With a designated driver
And he lay down and thought
About the whole nightAnd he looked up at the photo
That he bought at a junk shop
It was only fifty cents
But he framed it and everythingIt was the kind of party
That you hope never ends
The lucky party boy
Surrounded by his friendsAnd 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 outThere was a lot that you could learn
If you lay near them
Like if you listened you could hear them
And he could hear themThey say," Tonight we're gonna be the party
We will party all night long
We are the party generation
So lift your head lift your head, party on"Tonight we're gonna be the party
We will party all night long
We are the party generation
So lift your head and blow 'em out, yeahOh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeahTonight we're gonna be the party
We will party all night long
We are the party generation
So lift your head and blow 'em out, party on
Tonight we're gonna be the party

She has been making music for over a decade. Her studio album My Better Self finds Dar at an unequivocally brazen crossroads. Reflecting on American politics, the disillusionment and apathy of youth, and the female experience, Dar makes no apology for her outspoken beliefs.
