Mighty Mighty Bosstones

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
Don't believe a word
Not a word, one word
It's been overblown
The truth should be known
Till 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
Till 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 strait 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 somethig 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
Till 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 strait 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
No, probably not
