Lyrics So Happy Birthday - Remastered - 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
