It’s  out of my hands and all I can do it wait
 It’s the not knowing that has put me in this state
 The minutes feel like hours, the tension is too great
 I’ve done my part so now it’s in the hands of fate...
 Waiting for  my AIDS test to come  back
 I shouldn’t  have fucked that prostitute without  a prophylactic
 Waiting for  my AIDS test to come  back
 Regret  is dripping from me like my semen  down her crack
 And now I wait
My  nerves, they have been frayed; my pants, they have been shat
 I know the nurse will say, “It’s time to have a chat”
 At least I’ll never worry about getting... fat
  (stop) N/
 I should think positive – no, wait, I didn’t say that!
 Waiting for  my AIDS test to come  back
 I never  should have blown the tranny in  my Cadillac
 Waiting for  my AIDS test to come  back
 I just had  to taste that sweet, forbidden nectar  from his sack
And  now I wait…
Is  it over, will my jersey be retired?
 Will my name stitched upon a quilt be required?
 Did I make a difference, was my life inspired?
 N/
 Will Denzel Washington defend me when I’m fired?
 Waiting for  my AIDS test to come  back
 Eating  assholes shouldn’t be an aphrodisiac
 Waiting for  my AIDS test to come  back
If  I’m clean I swear to God I will  stop shooting smack... probably
 Boys  and girls, don't be  nieve  -  take  it from your Uncle Steve
 AIDS  cares not whom it  affects;  caught  from unprotected sex
 Sharing  needles, blood  or spit, or  piss  or semen, even  shit
 From handshakes,  sneezes, toilet seats
 From monkey  bites and uncooked meats
 From dirty  coins and dreadlocked hair
 From certain  children in  daycare
 From drinking  water, breathing air
 I tell  you, AIDS is everywhere  (!)
  PRE-OUTRO:
 Oh God,  I can't take anymore!
 I think  I'll run right out  that door!
 But wait,  the nurse comes straight  away!
 Tell  me, what does my  test say...?
 I’m okay!
 I’m  okay!
 I’m  okay!
 It’s just  chlamydia...
