Worum geht es in dem Song?

"Don't Know How to Party" von "Mighty Mighty Bosstones" ist ein Song über jemanden, der sich selbst nicht als Partygänge...

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
