You Say It's Your Birthday
Kill the Man Who Questions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Kill the Man Who Questions's song, "You Say It's Your Birthday" are a powerful commentary on the hypocrisy of society and the neglectful, often apathetic attitude that people have towards one another. The opening line, "Squeezed out of a crotch, slapped twice on the ass, and cut from the womb," sets the tone for a harsh and unapologetic exploration of the difficult reality of life.
The lyrics go on to detail the disillusionment that comes with growing up and realizing that the idealism of youth and the hope that comes with it is quickly replaced by a harsh, and often ugly, reality. The "political vigilance" of those who fought for the rights of the newborn is quickly forgotten in the "hectic human shit" of everyday life. The hypocrisy of those who once cared is made clear when they now offer only apathy and do not care about the post-natal endeavors of their once-cherished children.
This is a powerful indictment of the political system and society as a whole, which places a disproportionate burden on those who cannot fight back against those who have all the power. It is a harsh and difficult reality that all people must learn to confront, and "You Say It's Your Birthday" is a poignant reminder of this.
