Gutless

Addressing inequities in inadequate techniques Surgical procedures, involved and unique My knife is a brush for a sanguine palette 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 momentum 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
