About This Track

'Operate' by Peaches is a 2003 electronic track from the album 'Fatherfucker'. The lyrics are odd, confrontational, and deliberately grotesque, with an obsessive, practical fixation on handling someone as a kind of target, culminating in the repeated command to “Its time to operate”. It reads like a warped procedure manual, but the tone is more compulsive than clinical, sliding from repulsion to appetite as the speaker keeps pushing the same line. The repeated insistence turns the act into a rhythm, more incantation than action.

"Operate" is a track by Peaches, from the album Fatherfucker, released 14th August 2003. The track is 3:31 long. It's filed under Electronic. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 5 articles about Peaches.

Lyrics

Operate

Yeah yeah yeah, uhh
It seems to me so strange
Check wallet for his name
His face is in the muck
I think his zippers stuck
He is perfect for me
To practice surgery
One look coagulates
Its time to operate
Just keep it going
Just keep it going
Just keep it going
[Chorus]
He's not dead
He's gonna live
He's not dead
He's gonna live
I see his eyes rollin back in his head [Repeat: x4]
Come on lets take him home
I think i heard him groan
Hold on or he will sink
Just keep it going
You say your not but i know you can fake it
I can take it!
Just keep it going
Just keep it going
Just keep it going
[Chorus]
