lyrics

Happy Birthday Frances Bean 
2009 August 18th
 Your beautiful to me  & your turning 17

 Your fathers name is Kurt
 & your mom is Courtney Love 
They freaked it once & in 9 months  
Your hanging out with us 

We celebrate your birth 
& we mourn at KC’s death  
& we thank the lord above  for
Everything they left

 Like someone named Frances Bean 
Named after the Vasolines
 Like Inutero, Incesticide
Nevermind & Bleach

Why can’t the Emotron play your party like M.S.I.  
Why can’t our Godfather be god dang Michael Stipe
 It’s probably because

Happy Birthday Frances Bean 
A fella in his teens
Was changed by everything  
Your papa ever did 

He writes with his left hand  
I write with my left hand  
I am an alien that no one understands

 But I will try to live  & learn from what he did  
& teach the younger kids  
They don’t have to put up w/ shit
 You don’t have to live in the same shitty town  
That your parents live in & will never leave 
You don’t have to grow up or get a job to succeed

Why can’t the Emotron play your party like M.S.I.  
Why can’t our Godfather be god dang Michael Stipe
 It’s probably because your Dad
is friggin God 

Happy Birthday
