So Happy Birthday (Live) - Laurie Anderson
Lyrics by：Laurie Anderson
JOE: In our country you're free and so you're born
And so they say"You're free" so happy birthday
And even if you were born to lose--even if you were
A complete wreck when you were born--you might still
Grow up to be president because you're free
GERALDINE: Today you might be an average citizen
A civilian a pedestrian But tomorrow you might
Be elected to some unexpected office--or sell your novel
And suddenly become famous Or you could get run over
By a truck and your picture could get into the papers
_that_ way Because you're free and anything might happen
so happy birthday
JOE: Gee All those lights and all those screens
The New York Experience is mind-boggling I don't think
I've ever seen that many screens and I'll probably come
Again It was really amazing mind-boggling
GERALDINE: You're walking and you don't always realize
It but you're always falling at the same time With each
Step you fall forward Over and over you're falling
And then catching yourself from falling And this is
How you can be walking and falling at the same time
JOE: Look Over there It's a real dog and it's really talking
GERALDINE: I wanted you and I was looking for you
But I couldn't find you I wanted you and I was looking
For you all day but I couldn't find you
JOE: Well I paid my money and I've got this funny feeling
That somehow--you know--it's not what I paid my money for
I mean I _paid_ my money and I just don't think this is
What I paid my money--you know--what I paid my money for
GERALDINE: No one has ever looked at me like this before
No one has ever _stared_ at me for so long like this
This is the first time anyone has ever looked at me like
This stared at me like this for such a long time
For so long
JOE: Well he didn't know what to do so he just decided
To watch the government and see what the government was
Doing and then kind of scale it down to size--and run his
Life that way
GERALDINE: She said the hardest thing to teach her
Three-year-old kid was what was alive and what wasn't
The phone rings and she holds it out to her kid and says
"It's Grandma Talk to Grandma" But she's holding a
Piece of plastic And the kid says to herself:"Wait a
Minute Is the phone alive Is the TV alive What about
That radio What is alive in this room and what doesn't
Have life" Unfortunately she doesn't know how to ask
These questions
JOE: We were in a large room Full of people All kinds
And they had arrived at the same time And they were all
Free and they were all asking themselves the same question:
What is behind that curtain They were all free And they
Were all wondering what would happen next
GERALDINE: This is the time and this is the record of the time
