They gonna cut you
Take a little here, put a little there
Won't recognise you
We'll take that wear an' tear, hide it here an' there
They gonna cut you
Here come the surgeon knife to improve your life
Have a brain change
Put your face in place, gimme air with taste
And meanwhile baby back in Brazil
Little white ladies look decidedly ill
Reflecting on their surgical youth once again
Inside they know they were still old then
They even pay for it
The flowers in their hair, the water an' the air
U.S. America
Pay a dime an' breathe, see it an' believe
Pigs in a blanket
Delivered by machine, they say it's green an' clean
Give us good image
God in 1991, grab a gun, let's have some fun
And meanwhile baby back in Brazil
Little white ladies look decidedly ill
Reflecting on their surgical youth once again
Inside they know they were still old then
December 1990
