lyrics

Kits screaming joohab claims the viceroy
His trousers split from head to heel
The A-Z is soon consulted
This coach will skip the road to hell

My body
This body

Work in progress cut the folicles
Go on maybe one day I’ll look nice
Work in progress cover up the stubble
Go on maybe one day I’ll feel good
One day

Suck my nutsack

I think I’d look good with much more wait
That’s not just Mike Ink saying that
That lyric is a genuine feeling
Not meant to be a shock attack

I’m sorry
So sorry

Work in progress trim the eyebrow slug
Go on maybe one day I will pass
Work in progress cover up the bulge
Go on maybe one day they won’t stare
One day

Hey Mattie!

What’s in a name? What’s in a game?
What you gonna do with your darkest shame?
Singing ‘bout scares like your life’s gonna end
But you still got time - trust me, I’m a friend

And you keep me close and your enemies closer
You were your own when they called you OSA
Now you’ve moved on but your fear has hastened
Your step has faltered - in a word, wastered

Hey! Mattie! It takes time!
You’re gonna get better and you’re gonna feel fine
You’re gonna get loved and you’re gonna get fans
You’re gonna redefine what it means to be trans

Hey! Mattie! It takes time!
You’re gonna get better and you’re gonna feel fine
You’re gonna get famous and you’re gonna get rich
You’re gonna rock the ARP Soloist

Work in progress soundin’ good
Work in progress lookin’ good
