Stereotaxic Atrocities
by Tourniquet

lyrics by: Ted Kirkpatrick

Brilliant scientific enterprise
The alltruistic benefit of human justifies
A white lab coat represents the icon
Eradicate disease, the pedestal it stood on
lies shattered on the floor.

Just another day, the dead half a million lay
Your taxes will foot the bill, supply animals to kill.

Stinging infusion of chemical
The moribund patient clings to the wall
Another scapegoat to suffer for our sickening vices
You cut their neck, they cut your check
Endless barrage of repetition, satisfies your need
Of colleague competition.

Pseudo scientist watches in fascination
As electrode-ridden monkey #32
Has his dignity completely destroyed
We need another $200,000 to find a scientific reason
why cats land on their feet
Feline fuel for the incinerator.

Even though this test will not help the human mess
Continue it anyway, the car payment's due today.
