Dont Know How to Party — текст песни (Mighty Mighty Bosstones)

(Nate Albert/Dicky Barrett/Bosstones)

I`ve heard all the stories, the failure 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 the 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 some-thing
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 and 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
