The Greeting Committee Birthday Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Eight years old to the day
You blew your candles off the cake
Wishing too hard for them to stay
You burnt the house down

[Verse 2]
She held the match, he held her face
You learned to hate your birthday
Calling her bitch, despite your wish
They had to separate

[Chorus]
And the room sings
And it sounds like leaving home
And the room sings
"We know something you don't"

[Verse 3]
Now he's quite the stand-up guy
He's stood you up 'least twelve times
And when he finally does arrive
He brings his new wife

[Verse 4]
The family shrink from second floor
The one he claimed he couldn't afford
Your mother cries, clings to the floor
You knock his lights out

[Chorus]
And the room sings
And it sounds like leaving home
And the room sings
"We know something you don't"

[Chorus Reprise]
And the room sings
And it sounds like leaving home
The room sings
"We know something you don't"
The room sings
And it sounds like there's no love
