John Cameron Mitchell/The Angry Inch Angry Inch Lyrics

"To be free one must give up a little part of oneself"

My s__ change operation got botched
My guardian angel fell asleep on the watch
Now all I've got is a barbie doll crotch
I've got an angry inch

Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a
I got an angry inch

I'm from the land where you still hear the cries
I had to get out, had to sever all ties
I changed my name and a__umed a disguise
I got an angry inch

Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
The train is coming and I'm tied to the track
I try to get up but I can't get no slack
I've got an angry inch
Angry inch

My mother made my t__s outta clay
(t__s of clay)
My boyfriend told me that he'd take me away
(t__s of clay)
He dragged me to the doctor one day
I've got an angry inch

Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a
I got an angry inch

(Long story short!)
Yeah, long story short
When I woke up from the operation I was bleeding down there
I was bleeding from the gash between my legs
It was my first day as a woman, already that time of the month
Two days later the hole closed up
You know... the wound healed and I was left
With a one inch mound of flesh
Where my p____ used to be
Where my v_____ never was
It was a one inch mound of flesh
With a scar running down it like a sidways grimace on an eyeless face
It was just a little bulge
It was an angry inch!!

Six inches forward and five inches back
The train is coming but I'm tied to the track
I try to get up but I can't get no slack
I got an angry inch
angry inch

Six inches forward and five inches back
Stay under cover till the night turns to black
I got my inch, I'm set to attack
I got an angry inch
angry inch
