LYRICS
according to a base 10 numerical system
that we made up to satisfy our needs to 
quantify and analyse the existence of 
particular particle configurations

and according to a calendar originally
developed in order to control the
growing of digestible crops
so we don't starve and die and decompose...

it's been a specific and somehow significant period of time
since the moment you shot out of the birth canal
I hope you're feeling well and that your life is swell
but you know as well as I...

the world's a dead place
every day's the same, we're all atoms
shooting around in a pointless game
and there's nothing left to do
except wish a happy birthday to you!

i read on wikipedia that plato argued that the
meaning of life is in attaining the highest
form of knowledge, which is the idea of the good,
from which all good things derive their value

while aristotle took the approach that we can
find meaning through always striving towards the
greatest good, setting aside all other goods,
setting aside our other desires...

what's the deal with all these ancient greeks
why did they even bother to disagree?
how did they even get up the energy?
it just makes me so god damned angry!

the world's a dead place
every day's the same, we're all atoms
shooting around in a pointless game
and there's nothing left to do
except wish a happy birthday to you!

you know atheism doesn't necessarily
go hand in hand with a disillusionment regarding
the wonderful wonderfulness of the world,
in fact some people say it heightens the -

- experience of being alive,
when you know there's only so much time,
but I guess that's not the case for me or you...
because no matter what I say or what I do...
you won't come out of your room, when you're feeling blue,
so happy fucking birthday to you!
yeah, happy fucking birthday -

it's been a specific and somehow significant period of time
since the moment you shot out of the birth canal
I hope you're feeling well and that your life is swell
but you know as well as I...

the world's a dead place
every day's the same, we're all atoms
shooting around in a pointless game
and there's nothing left to do
except wish a happy birthday
yeah, happy fucking birthday
yeah, happy god damned 
motherfucking birthday... to you
