Angry Inch Lyrics by Stephen Trask

Hedwig and the Angry Inch (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

0

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, had 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 a—I got an Angry Inch
My mother made my tits out of clay, tits 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
"Long story short, when I woke up from the operation, I was bleeding down there, I was 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, 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. 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 a—I got an Angry Inch, Angry Inch!
Six inches forward and five inches back
Stay under cover till the night turns to black
I got my Inch and I'm set to attack
I got an Angry Inch, Angry Inch!
