Lyrics:
We don't give a damn
We just want 2 jam, party up
(Party up, got 2 party up)
That army bag, such a double drag, party up
(Party up, got 2, got 2, got 2 party up)

Party, got 2 party down, baby
Revolutionary rock and roll
Goin' uptown, baby, ooh
How U gonna make me kill somebody I don't even know?

They got the draft, uh, uh I just laugh, party
(Party up, got 2 party up)
Fightin' war is such a fuckin' bore, party up
(Party up, got 2, got 2, got 2 party up)

Party, uh, uh, got 2 party down, babe
Oh, it's all about what's in Ur mind
Goin' uptown, baby, ooh
I don't want 2 die I just want 2 have a bloody good time

Party up, got 2 party up
Party up, got 2 party up

Because of their half-baked mistakes
We get ice cream, no cake, all lies, no truth
Is it fair 2 kill the youth?
Party up

Got 2 party up, yeah
Got 2 party up, babe, ooh
Got 2 party up yeah
Got 2 party up babe, ooh
Got 2 party up yeah, oh oh
Got 2 party up babe, ooh
Got 2 party up, yeah
Got 2 party up, babe, yeah, yeah-yeah
(Party up, got 2 party up)
(Party up, got 2 party up)
(Party up, got 2 party up)
(Party up, got 2 party up)
(Party up, got 2 party up, baby)
(Party up, got 2 party up, yeah)

You gonna have 2 fight Ur own damn war (party up, got 2 party up)
'Cause we don't wanna fight no more (party up, got 2 party up)
You gonna have 2 fight Ur own damn war (party up, got 2 party up)
'Cause we don't wanna fight no more (party up, got 2 party up)
You gonna have 2 fight Ur own damn war (party up, got 2 party up)
'Cause we don't wanna fight no more (party up, got 2 party up)
I said we don't wanna fight no more (party up, got 2 party up)
'Cause we don't wanna fight no more (party up, got 2 party up)
