Sores Of Anger
==============
An Adipose-Gracilis partnership 2026. North Cambridge, UK.

Exploration of the ambiguous causes of male short temper:
-Dodgy chemicals bought off the net to build muscle bulk?
-pain from unwelcome late-middle-age developments in the underpantal nether-regions?
Either way, it could be described as ‘roid rage.

153 Bpm. E minor.

Libretto
========
[V1 & 2]
Could I be blessed with more than my share of testosterone ?
Have I smeared on far too much of the hydracortisone ?
Adverse Reaction Downstairs !
Haemorrhoids, or anabolic steroids?
I cope by cushioning chairs!
Haemorrhoids, or anabolic steroids?

Red mist makes me belive that “everybody wants some”.
Could be all the pills I popped or could just be my ruined bum.
Supremely violent nightmares
Haemorrhoids, or anabolic steroids?
Inflammatory Skin flares!
Haemorrhoids, or anabolic steroids?

[Chorus]
I’ve got ‘Roid Rage! It’s a pain in the arrrrrse
Why am I angry? Piled on so fast
I’m in a quandry Clear me a path
I’ve got ‘roid rage They’re the grapes of my wrath!

[V3 & 4]
I think I could be one of Hegseth’s manly warriors
If I simply gird my loins with artificial polymers
Let’s move the needle to red!
Haemorrhoids, or anabolic steroids?
Sociopathic hothead!
Haemorrhoids, or anabolic steroids?

My biceps now are huge, my brain’s a ticking time bomb,
But I’ve clearly shrunk my nads, can no longer wear nylons.
Let’s move the needle to red!
Haemorrhoids, or anabolic steroids?
Sociopathic hothead!
Haemorrhoids, or anabolic steroids?

[Chorus Reprise]
