On Your Birthday Lyrics by Phillip Jon Taylor

Essential Maintenance for Human Happiness

2020

Why didn't someone wake me up?
I've been out for hours, maybe even years
If there's something I can do
Just hit me up, man, I'll be waiting over here

It's not permitted to just have your cake and eat it
Even on your birthday too
This hunting season, all the deer will show one month early
Armed with guns they bought from you

Trying to hide away from the world
You and me both, girl
You tell me that it's rough when you're down
And that you're tired of being pushed around

Monthly allowance isn't getting any bigger
They just want us to give in
Can't be a backing band for some old rich white liar
That would kill people to win

Tired of being pushed around
We're tired of being pushed around
They're tired of being pushed around
Aren't you tired of being pushed around?
I'm tired of being pushed around
