Happiness Is Not A Warm Scalpel

(album: Repo! The Genetic Opera - 2008)

[Amber:]
I've never been so surgically maimed!

[Rotti:]
Amber, please, it's not that bad.

[Amber:]
I'll be the laughingstock of the stage!

[Rotti:]
Daughter, please, it's not so bad.

[Amber:]
This is your fault!
I asked you to help me!

[Rotti:]
Now, amber, please.
I warned you about this.
Happiness is not a warm scalpel.

[Amber:]
I don't care! it's not fair!

[Rotti:]
Baby, baby, baby, don't do this.

[Amber:]
I will never sing again!

[Rotti:]
I gave you the life I wished I'd had.

[Amber:]
I look like a crime scene, dad.

[Rotti:]
All you ever do is take, take, take. all I ever do is give.
I said nothing when you came to me
Asking, "can I be asian?"

[Amber:]
That surgery was only $90 grand!

[Rotti:]
I did not complain
When you changed your name
From largo to sweet.

[Amber:]
I need a stage name!

[Rotti:]
You are a disgrace!
Your genes are not worthy of mine!
