Party Generation Video (MV)

When he turned 34, but who's counting,
He couldn't find anyone who wanted to party,
So walked around around a playground with a pack 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 who's 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 going to 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 one or two, it started winding down,
And he knew what they needed, they needed donuts,
So they walked out to Krispy Kruller's All Night Sugar Palace,
And it was there at the doorway he said, "Oh well, maybe not,"
Inside there were six women talking,
They were the most justified ex-girlfriends.
And they swiveled 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-

Tonight we're going to be the party,
We will party all night long,
We are the party generation,
You were the best, but we'll survive,
Party on."

In the morning they sent him home
with the designated driver,
And he lay down and thought about the whole night,
And he looked up at the photo that he'd got at a junkshop,
It was only fifty since, but he'd framed it and everything,
It was the kind of party that you hope never ends,
The lucky party boy surrounded by his friends,
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,
He could hear them, they said,

Tonight we're going to be the party,
We will party all night long,
We are the party generation,
Lift your head, lift your head,
Party on.

Tonight we're going to be the party,
We will party all night long,
We are the party generation,
So lift your head, blow 'em out...

Tonight we're going to be the party,
We will party all night long,
We are the party generation,
Lift your head, lift your head,
Party on.
