Circle Jerks are a punk rock band formed circa 1979 in Hermosa Beach, California. Lead vocalist Keith Morris was an original member of Black Flag, co-founding the band with Greg Ginn and recording the Nervous Breakdown EP with them before suddenly departing the group in 1979. Morris formed Circle Jerks along with guitarist Greg Hetson, bassist Roger Rogerson (a classically trained guitarist), and drummer Lucky Lehrer. They, along with such bands as Black Flag and Bad Religion, were among the preeminent punk bands of the L.A. scene in the early '80s.

Operation Lyrics
Circle Jerks
I went to see a rabbi
but despite his advise
I want an operation
I will not father life
operation, operation
snip & tie, snip & tie
they send me to a preacher
a really toughtful guy
he said my idea's crazy
I shouldn't even try
this operation, operation
snip & tie, snip & tie
but i've just seen a surgeon
and with a knife he cut
I cannot bring you children
this world is such a rut
operation, operation
snip & tie, snip & tie
I had an operation
a statement of our times
they tied my balls together
what's insides not alive
