Angry Inch 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
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
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
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
My guardian angel fell asleep on the watch
Now all I got is a Barbie Doll-crotch
I got an angry inch
I got a
I got an angry inch
I had to get out to sever all ties
I changed my name and assumed a disguise
I got an angry inch
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 boyfriend told me that he'd take me away
They dragged me to the doctor one day
I've got an angry inch
I got a
I got an angry inch
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
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
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

It's actually a cover of a song from the film and play Hedwig and the Angry Inch. It's about a gay guy who goes for a sex change and they screw it up.
Bravo to Type O for tackling this song.
I thought this song was about a furious Asian man.
I must say this song is too weird even for TON. I was surprised Pete would wirte such a song, I mean after reading Haunted, it's a big chande.
I lost my angry inch.
Oh sweet! I can't believe they covered this song!
This is a powerful movie and the songs fit right in. Origins of Love is especially powerful. This goes deeper than stereotypical gay/trans movies.
The guy gets the operation to escape East Berlin with a US soldier. S/he gets to the states only to have him leave her for another young boy... while she watches the Berlin wall fall down. Ya gotta feel for her.
Oh - just to make sure you don't think I gave away the whole movie... that's just part of the back story.
This song is pretty funny
Once and for all, Type O Negative did NOT write this song. It's a cover from Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which happened to be one of Pete Steele's favorite movies.
The meaning of this song, however, is about Hedwig getting his sex-change and waking up without a penis or vagina (1 inch mound of flesh)
