What's the point of havin' birthdays <br />If there are no gifts to give <br />When love is spent and sorrow's earned <br />And you've got one less year to live <br />What's the point of havin' birthdays <br />If you don't enjoy your cake <br />It's not your fault your mom's in prison <br />You should have taught yourself to bake <br />What's the point of havin' birthdays <br />You bought yourself a pre-used shirt <br />Blowin' out candles doesn't matter <br />When every time you breathe, it hurts <br />What's the point of havin' birthdays <br />When empty cards are on display <br />But count your blessings, soon you'll learn <br />You'll only have one deathday<br /><br />Florence P.
