The story behind the song: Rick Weisberg's older sister was off to get her ears pierced at the mall. Rick asked her "How do they do it?" This was her reply... This song was recorded at Garth Webber's studio in Berkeley. Musicians are Doug Logan on rhythm and lead guitar, Peter Gillette on acoustic bass, Peter Booras on drums (brushes hitting a pad of paper), and Kathy Moxham vocals and rhythm guitar.

Ears Pierced Today c 2003 Kathy Moxham I'm getting my ears pierced today There's a man with a gun standing far away They've got me on a belt I'm rolling his way I'm getting my ears pierced today Oh, Lord, I am full of dread he's got that gun pointed right at my head one slight move and I'm, well, I'm dead I'm getting my ears pierced today All this for just some shiny ears half an inch and I am no longer here his gun is loaded up and I'm full of fear I'm getting my ears pierced today Now he's got me in his sites I look around but there is nowhere to hide he aims, he shoots, I LIVE! [Now the other side] I'm getting my ears pierced today I'm getting my ears pierced today
