about

A broken Counterfeit Casio sits in a thrift shop in Brooklyn and ponders aloud about his birthdays. If you listen closely, you can hear Andrew and Mike Finnerty's Grandmother spitefully washing dishes loudly in a passive-aggressive attempt to wake up andrews friends who crashed over from the night before.

lyrics

COUNTERFEIT CASIO

I'm feeling like a counterfeit casio today
not knowing where I belong
in this thrift shop world where I can't even play a song
I'm a piece of the puzzle that just doesn't...

Another year older now
I'm in that inbetween stage...
I'm starting to lie about my age

"I cry because it feels good on my corroded batteries"
my batteries just died.

I'm feeling like a counterfeit casio
whos broken buttons are permanently pushed in.

where are
my accomplishments?
what have I shown?
who is watching me?
I am still unknown.

still there's nothing better than
being older than...

Happy fucking birthday to me
Do you like figs?
(*then how about a date?)

Happyt yfucking bday
havce a happy birthday
happy happy fucking birtjday
have a mother fucking birthday
happy happy happy birthday
have a mother fucking birthday
happy happy happy happy

(Another year older now
I'm in that inbetween stage
where I'm too old get get relief
yet too young to save)
