Lyrics
Grinding forth from the halls of education
Emerging from educational institutions
Replete with the stench of dessication
Filled with the smell of extreme dryness
Four pre-meds suffer condemnation
Four pre-medical students face criticism
Tomes were perused, tombs were abused
Books were read extensively, graves were mistreated
All medico-legal limitations refused
Refusal to abide by medical-legal restrictions
With inhuman dexterity and intelligence, infused
Infused with exceptional dexterity and intelligence that seems inhuman
Master thespians in the operating theatre
Highly skilled actors in the surgical theater
Likewise endowed in a gorenography feature
Also possessing characteristics found in gory movies
Deranged we may be after a blood bath
May become mentally disturbed after a scene of bloodshed
But all that rots can't be studied intact
However, not everything decaying can be fully understood
Sifting through reams of anatomical charts
Sorting through numerous anatomical diagrams
Bisecting livers and dissecting hearts
Cutting apart livers and hearts for study
Arcane knowledge for doctoral upstarts
Acquiring specialized knowledge for new doctors
Rooting through a chum ridden morass
Exploring a mass filled with bodily remains
Cells scrutinized on iodized glass
Examining cells on glass slides treated with iodine
We've mapped the structure of a carcass
We've understood the makeup of a dead body
Up to our elbows in grue and claret
Immersed in blood and gore up to their elbows
We proffer quite a sanguine display
Presenting a bloody and optimistic image
As we rule this mondo medicale
Exerting control over this medical world
With scalpels and blades prepared on the tray
Using scalpels and blades ready for use
Integument cut and dermis to flay
Cutting skin and removing dermis
You will rue this mondo medicale
You'll regret experiencing this medical world
Bypassing moral balances and checks
Ignoring ethical boundaries and standards
Summistes on high, rewriting texts
Authorities at the top rewriting established knowledge
Our Aesculapius methods leave them all vexed
Using unconventional methods causing frustration to others
Surgical aspirations, all dignified
Surgeries done with respect and honor
Post-modern Versali, repersonified
Reviving a style of writing from the past in a modern context
But for our successes, we're villified
Despite achievements, facing harsh criticism
A trocar employed for psycho-surgery
Using a trocar for psychological operations
In this bedlam of hospitality
In this chaotic environment of care
Though flesh and blood are dead inside
Though humanity feels dead, anatomical knowledge still applies
The gross anatomy can still be applied
Applying knowledge of the body despite the emotional disconnect
To raise the stakes of medicine's breadth
Elevating the standards of medical practices
These choice cuts ours, until death
These valuable insights remain ours until death
Our work is to die for so don't be a knave
Our work is exceptionally valuable, don't underestimate it
Choke on it and go back to the grave
Accept and acknowledge its significance
