about

A song about a teenaged boy who starts his own country and oh, the fun he has.

lyrics

Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday to the nation that you formed when you were seventeen
You bought yourself an island, and you built a video game company
And now you spend your time governing citizens and making lots of money.

Are you lonely?
"Well no, I've got my friends, I've got my health, I've got prosperity"
Well what about your family?
"Well... what about my family?
They would scream and yell into the night while I stared into the ocean sea"

One day you woke up to deafening silence around you
Your father was shaking and crying in the living room
He held a crumpled up note in his palm
You desperately combed through your house but your mother was gone

So happy birthday,
you tell your friends that you're much better off without your parents.
No despondent father, no mother committed to abandonment
Today's a day for celebration, so let the parties commence.
