Addressing inequities in inadequate techniques

Surgical procedures, involved and unique

My knife is a brush for a sanguine pallette

Create a masterpiece with some bone and a mallet



Hysterectomies for those who are insane

Severing meninges to balance the brain

Trephan the skull for a nervous disorder

Tapping the vein to expunge fever

Excoriate bubos with brand and cleaver

Our professors believe we're out of order



Suffering spinalectomies

Their bellies, jaundiced

Fusty minds, cowardly

You're gutless

Feint of heart and lothly

With enfeebled stomachs

Lily-livered and rafty

You're gutless



Without the risk, there's no reward

We must experiment on our wards

To elevate our science

We will operate in defiance



Committed to impuning progress

Judicial officials are made to egress

Our critics are given the axe

The needs of many outweigh the few

Profficide required for us to continue

The research of cold, dead facts



Restraining philistines

Facing final justice

Exscinding to the spine

You're gutless

Liberating omentum

Of an aristarchus

Usefulness just begun

You're gutless



Without the risk, there's no reward

We must experiment on our wards

To elevate our science

We will operate in defiance



Moral objectors will lose their tongues

And guts and bones and brains and teeth and lungs

Till they're gutless
