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.
Lyrics
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
