[intro]
the nuclear family’s detonated
by the people who created
the nuclear family’s detonated
by the people who created
the nuclear family’s detonated
by the people who created

[verse 1]
i’d like to be an anarchist
except i care what people think
i’d like to cut my hair
and dye it violet in the sink
i’d like to be a rebel
but only if you’ll tell me
my rebelling was a job well done
i’d like to overthrow the governement
but only if my bail is payed by tax-payer funds

[chorus]
birthdays and funerals
we talk ourselves in circles
we tell each other stories
that never fit our names
birthdays and funerals
i say talk too soon but no
i know you won’t pick up the phone
it’s all part of the game

[verse 2]
one day i might forget my name
oh isn’t it a crying shame
i’ll lose my looks i’ll lose my legs
they’ll put my bladder in a bag
dying is k!lling him
the doctors they keep k!lling him
but he is so unwilling cause
the looming grave is chilling him

[chorus]
birthdays and funerals
we talk ourselves in circles
we tell each other stories
that never fit our names
birthdays and funerals
i say talk too soon but no
i know you won’t pick up the phone
it’s all part of the game

[bridge]
can’t have one without the other
say i look just like my mother
she say’s you’re acting like your father
well don’t mean to be a bother
but what do i say to that?
should i be okay with that?
how am i going to pay for that?
if i only see you at

[chorus]
birthdays and funerals
we talk ourselves in circles
we tell each other stories
that never fit our names
birthdays and funerals
i say talk too soon but no
i know you won’t pick up the phone
it’s all part of the game
the cordial game
