[Chorus]
I told them that it's my birthday
But they didn't even care
They beat me up in an alley
I grin with blood in my hair

[Verse 1]
I thought it only happened once a year
Today's my lucky day, I guess
They all knew my address
In the pretend world

[Pre-Chorus]
They didn't even bring a gift
I thought I surely deserved it
I know I'm no longer a kid
But they just kicked the door right in

[Chorus]
I told them that it's my birthday
But they didn't even care
They beat me up in an alley
I grin with blood in my hair
I guess it's only a day, only a day
I learned that it's only one day, only one day
They beat me up in an alley
But they didn't even care
[Verse 2]
They threw the velvet cake into my eyes
Then gave me bills and debt disguised
I am a businessman
With a collection of ties

[Pre-Chorus]
They didn't even bring a gift
I thought I surely deserved it
I know I'm no longer a kid
But they just kicked the door right in

[Chorus]
I told them that it's my birthday
But they didn't even care
They beat me up in an alley
I grin with blood in my hair
I guess it's only a day, only a day
I learned that it's only one day, only one day
They beat me up in an alley
But they didn't even care

[Bridge]
They beat me up in an alley
But to be honest, I really didn't care
They beat me up in an alley
But to be honest, I really don't care
[Chorus]
I told them that it's my birthday
But they didn't even care
They beat me up in an alley
I grin with blood in my hair
I guess it's only a day, only a day
I learned that it's only one day, only one day
They beat me up in an alley
But they didn't even care
