Birthday affair, not like you care
Saw how we decorated with flare
Streamers and gifts, piñata sticks
But one part set off somethin' held deep
Pins flew free so close to me
All three hundred balloons get burst so noisily

Popper, popper, balloons get you churnin', churnin'
Oh, popper, popper, the sight sends you reelin'

Ev'ry time you see one fly
You unsheathe your big-ass scary knife
When they blow, pop, my ears go
So I just wanna ask why you freak so
Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Popper, popper, kids are who you're hurtin', hurtin'
Oh, popper, popper, don't get why I'm seethin'
Popper, popper, I see your rage burnin', burnin'
Oh, oh, popper, popper, tell me, what's the meanin'?

Childhood trauma from clown freaks (clownish freaks)?
Did IT break your brain (break your brain)?
Allergic to rubber? Please (tell me, please)
Calm down and explain

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Popper, popper, the sound's really hurtin', hurtin'
Oh, popper, popper, from fragments, I'm reelin'
Popper, popper, if a grudge, you're nursin', nursin'
Oh, oh, popper, popper, tell me, help your healin'

What, you seethe when they're upbeat?
That's a bit lame, to be frank of me
