Don´t Know How To Party

Don´t Know How To Party

Mighty Mighty Bosstones
(album: Don´t Know How To Party)

I´ve heard all the stories
The failures and glories I haven´t had either
Boast and toast I´m the best and I´m a mess
I know I´m not neither
Thought I was down as far as any man could go
Thought my highs were giant size
I know now that´s not so
I know you heard, know you heard, know you heard
Don´t believe a word, not a word, one word
It´s been overblown, the truth should be known
Til now I couldn´t see
Put my cards on the table while I´m still able
I guess I really don´t know how to party

It´s blown out of whack, the truth is what´s lacking
Til now I couldn´t see
The long and the short I´d like to report
I guess I really don´t know how to party

Really don´t by any shape or form
Whether straight up in the sunshine
Or passed out in a storm
Don´t know how but now I know I don´t
Will it help me out?
No, it probably won´t

Ten nine ain´t no hero
Number one at bad behavior
Five, four, three, two, what? not zero
Don´t go counting on a savior

I was playing it safe when I´d fall on my face
Entertainment was what I was after
Harmless fun, no damage done
I was out and about for the laughter
Thought I was something really something no one was gonna touch
Ace in the place, kingpin of sin I didn´t know too much
Don´t believe everything you´ve heard
Don´t believe a solitary word

It´s been overblown, the truth should be known
Til now I couldn´t see
Put my cards on the table while I´m still able
I guess I really don´t know how to party
Really don´t by any shape or form
Whether straight up in the sunshine
Or passed out in a storm
Don´t know how but now I know I don´t
Will it help me out, no it probably won´t
I don´t have a notion and I don´t have a clue
An iota or an inkling where to start or what to do
The foggiest, the faintest, the slightest I ain´t got
Will it help me out? Nah, probably not
