lyrics

A body of knowledge
Knowledge of the body
The body, knowledgeable subject of fear
Knowing all the ways this beast can defeat you
Can shorten your lifespan
Destroy your career

Statistics unlikely
A small probability
Just enough to ignite paranoias
Pertaining to each others' bodily workings
The untouchables are everywhere lurking

Inhibit the urges of our diseased bodies
Prohibit the actions of those who are naughty
Inhibit, prohibit, inhibit, prohibit, inhibit, prohibit
Inhibit our disgusting bodies

Please don't touch me
I wouldn't want to expose you to my germs
Blood-borne pathogens
And leprosy
You'll catch them unless you learn

Disease and infection
Result from erections
So might as well reuse that Christian shame
Use latex and rubber
To go undercover
Spelunk that enticing, forbidden terrain

Still nothing's enough for complete peace of mind
Abstinence-only is the only kind
Of sure-free protection
Shameful resurrection
And even those damned monosexuals go blind

Please don't touch me
I wouldn't want to expose you to my germs
Blood-borne pathogens
And leprosy
They'll catch you unless you learn
How to hide from human skin
'Cause you see, it's such a thin
Boundary
Which will hardly protect you
From the unspeakable horrors
That lie within

Let's go even further
Become safe and sterile
Eliminate each inescapable risk
No contact! Or touching!
Or Platonic cuddling!
We'll wear rubber gloves to touch even a fist

Round up these infectious, disease-ridden bodies
We'll trap them in someplace they'll safely exist
Electronic voids we can view through a screen
So we can avoid all the dangers
That phyisical contact will bring

Inhibit the urges of our diseased bodies
Prohibit the actions of those who are naughty
Inhibit, prohibit, inhibit, prohibit, inhibit, prohibit
Inhibit our disgusting bodies

Please don't touch me
I wouldn't want to expose you to my germs
Blood-borne pathogens
And leprosy
You'll catch them unless you learn
How to hide from human skin
'Cause you see, it's such a thin
Boundary
Which will hardly protect you
From the unspeakable monstrosities
That lie within

Upbeat, quirky, and just a tad bit nihilistic.
