Lyrics Tools of the Trade - Carcass

Tools of the Trade

Steel skin clips
Forceps, grooved awl, retractors, needles
Gouges and saws
Intestinal clamps, blunt dissectors
Scalpels, pins, toothed directors
Tools of the trade, forceps and blades
Skillfully lathed, for us to maim
Bone levers, spikes, malleable scoops
Plates and chisels, screws and spoons
Drills, respatories, files and durettes
Guillotines, gags and compression forceps
Tools of the trade, ripping the rib-cage
To remissly lustrate, so pleased to maim
Retractors, mallets, rugines and benders
Chisels, rods, sharps and catheters
Trephines, undines, irons and styrups
Depressors, tongues, sterile catgut
Tools of the trade, stainless steel blades
Painstakingly lathed, we’re so pleased to maim
