5: Perfectly You
MOM:
Your sweet
sweet lips, your perfect nose
Your rosy
cheeks, your ten little toes
Your
precious little pee-pee, your wondrous eyes
Your
tender bottom, your pink chubby thighs
DAD:
We've
waited so long for you to come
I'm your
dad
MOM:
And I am
your mom
BOTH:
And we can
see, it's perfectly true
You're
perfectly, perfectly you
La la la
la ...
MOM:
You've got
daddy's dimple
DAD:
You've got
mamma's smile
BOTH:
We've been
praying for you all this while
And now
it's clear we both can see
You're
perfect as perfect can be
You're
perfectly, perfectly you

Track 6:
Cleaner Wiener
DOCTOR:
Yes! It's
a cleaner wiener
Circumcision, no decision
It's
protection from infection
Infatuation, masturbation
AIDS,
cancer, syphilis
Insanity
and bedwetting
Well the
parents, they are asking
I am
merely multi-tasking
It's a
service I'm performing
Hygienic,
aesthetic, prophylactic and conforming
Don't
worry
It's a
simple procedure
We'll
hurry
It won't
hurt him for long
Trust me
I'm the
authority
And
anyway, at three-fifty a pop
How can I
stop?
Gonna snip
it
Gonna clip
it
Gonna
shred it
Gonna edit
Gonna tame
it
Gonna
shame it
Gonna male
him a cleaner wiener
Gonna make
a cleaner wiener!

Track 9:
Can't Get Over It
2nd YOUNG
MAN:
I've been
robbed, I've been knifed
I've been
altered, changed for life
Part of me
gone for good
Cheated
out of my manhood
I had no
say, I had no voice
You had no
right to make that choice
A razor
blade to my flesh
Amputation
of the sex
And I
can't, no I can't get over it
No, no, no
I can't get over it
One who
rapes, he does time
My
butcher's well paid for his crime
Why didn't
you hear me scream?
Did you
pretend it was just a dream?
And I
can't, no, I can't get over it
No, no, no
I can't get over it
One day old, a helpless baby
You let a sadist mutilate me
You should have been the ones to save me
Mom and Dad, you betrayed me
No, no I can't get over it

Track 11:
If Only
MOM:
If only
my arms could hold you
If only I
could enfold you
If only I
could protect you
My baby
boy
If only I
could embrace you
If only
they wouldn't deface you
If only I
could defend you
My darling
boy
But it's
not my thing
It's a guy
thing
So I'll
let you go

Track
13: Just A Nurse
DOCTOR:
Y ou're
just a nurse
On shaky
ground
Asking for
trouble and
Overstepping your bounds
Only a
nurse
Way out of
line
Scaring
the parents and
Causing
mothers to cry
You'd best
be careful
Just wait
and see
You don't
want to tango
With the
likes of me
So watch
out young lady
Or I'll
see to it
You will
be fired
I
guarantee it!
NURSE :
I won't be
silenced
Not one
more time
Won't be
complicit
While
you're committing a crime
I'm not
afraid
Cause I
can see
One day
soon history
Will have
sided with me
You're the
one scaring
So give me
a break!
You're
selling fear
And your
reasons are fake
So don't
threaten me
You
hypocrite
You're
drunk on power
You revel
in it!

Track 14: What If
DAD:
What if
circumcision isn't such a good decision?
What if
all the reasons given are untrue or
simply
lame?
MOM:
What if
there's nothing to it and it's better
just to do
it?
Go ahead
and put him through it while he
cannot
feel the pain
DAD:
What if?
MOM:
What if?
DAD:
What if we
don't have him done?
MOM:
And what
if he's the only one?
BOTH:
And does
it matter if a son is different than his
dad?
DAD:
What if
has a brother?
MOM:
Is
rejected by a lover?
BOTH:
As his
father and his mother would we feel
that we've
been had?
DAD:
What if,
what if?
MOM:
What if,
what if?
BOTH:
What if
they cut off that part and make a
slip and
pierce his heart?
And then
what if the bleeding starts and
doesn't
ever stop?
What if he
won't stop crying and what if the
doctor's
lying?
Has he
talked us into buying something that
we didn't
want?
DAD:
What if,
what if, what if...what if, what if...
what if
what!?
MOM:
What if,
what if, what if...what if, what if...
what if
what!?
