## Lyrics

My sex-change operation got botched

My guardian angel fell asleep on the watch

Now all I got is a Barbie Doll-crotch

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

I'm from the land where you still hear the cries

I had to get out to sever all ties

I changed my name and assumed 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 got an angry inch, angry inch, angry inch

My mother made my tits out of clay

My boyfriend told me that he'd take me away

They 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

A long story short:

When I woke up from the operation

I was bleeding down there

Bleeding from the gash between my legs

My first day as a woman

And already it's that time of the month

But two days later

The hole closed up and the wound healed

And I was left with a one inch mound of flesh

Where my penis used to be

Where my vagina never was

A one inch mound of flesh

With a scar running down it

Like a sideways 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 and 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, angry inch

Six inches forward and five inches back

Stay undercover 'til the night turns to black

I got my inch and I'm set to attack

I got an angry inch, angry inch, 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 got an angry inch, angry inch, angry inch

Six inches forward and five inches back

Stay undercover 'til the night turns to black

I got my inch and I'm set to attack

I got an angry inch, angry inch, angry inch

Angry inch, angry inch, angry inch

Angry inch, angry inch, angry inch

Angry inch, angry inch, angry inch
