Cut It Out

Jon Eric - Cut It Out

I heard you preaching on the radio
And when you ordered the attack
You praised yourself for all these fabricated and heroic acts
A troubled trucker doesn’t have the time
To double-check your facts

(chorus)
So cut it out / Make it stop
You’ve got the whole world wondering when the bubble’s gonna pop
So let it end / We’ll dance and shout
And we’ll never be without when you cut it out

Perhaps it’s true that I exaggerate
Could be my memory’s gotten dim
I don’t believe I’ve ever seen you live lyrics of your hymn
I can tally all your good deeds
On one amputated limb

(chorus)

Suppose you think that you’re the good guy
And an evil world demands harsh dues
So something good came out of every righteous path you didn’t choose
God has got a master plan
And you’re His angel and His muse

(chorus x2)
You… Cut… It… Out

if there's a heart in your chest
and it tells you what is best
cut it out
baby baby baby cut it out

and if you got a bone
that tells you right from wrong
cut it out
or you ain't gonna make it in this town

you gotta be hard and mean
you gotta be a fucking machine
and you won't get sympathy
when you're down

if you've still got a soul
and it's more than just a hole
cut it out
baby baby baby cut it out

now it's time to choose
and nice boys always lose
cut it out
baby baby baby cut it out

I saw you again
you're empty as I have been
you've broken your fear
ready to forget all about him

But now that you're here
here you will stay just like I am
as after you'd gone
and cut out this heart from inside of me.

Chorus:
the knife cuts it deep
the knife takes away all of the pain
the knife takes it all away

I saw him today
walking arm in arm with her
the knife he can't see
and so it goes round and round again.

Cut It Out - Paco del Stinko

You say you love me but you don't mean it
You say you'd show me but I ain't seen it
You talk so sweet I believe every word that you say, yeah
But when I saw you with him I knew that I done got played

So cut it out (Woo-oo-oo-oo)

I'm like a dog, I'm on a chain in the yard
But you forgot to feed me and baby that's way too hard

So cut it out (Woo-oo-oo-oo)

Oh baby - My love for you runs deep
Why do you make me crazy - And treat me like a creep?


You bat your eyes and give me a come on look
But when I try you shut the lights and close the book
And when I hold you and you squiggle free
I get the scolding and this is what you say to me

Now cut it out (Woo-oo-oo-oo)
Bringin' the stink since 2006.

Cut It Out - The Various Artists
(Lyrics not recorded due to damned allergies. Imagine it over the instrumental. And yes, I know, my lyric writing skills leave much to be desired... But until TVA becomes more than my pc and me, you'll have to deal while I blossom. :D )

*Intro*
Heart in my hands
I'm bleeding (bleeding)
You cut it out
You're leaving (leaving)

Didn't take much
For us to share a bed
Moved in fast and
Soon planning to wed
Was so happy
Didn't think it'd ever end

*Chorus*
Heart in my hands
I'm bleeding
You cut it out
You're leaving
Babe, don't you go
I'm pleading
But you cut it out
You're leaving

My bad habits
Became your cross to bear
Loved you so much
But you couldn't hear
Over ev'ryone
Shouting their wants in your ears
But for our needs
We had to fight for time
Fam'ly had it
All nickle and dimed
Where that left us
Buried under the grind

*Chorus*

Back to square one
Starting over from scratch
I always knew
You were my true match
Fresh start for us
Our love getting a strong patch

*Chorus 2x*
"A pounding beat that makes me pump fist, that makes me smile like I've just been kissed."

Dollar Bill & the Inkpoints - Cut It Out

If your right eye causes you to stumble
Gouge it out and throw it away
Better to lose one part of your body
Than whole body gets thrown down into hell

Cut it out Cut it out Cut it out now
Cut it out Cut it out Cut it out now

If your right hand causes you to stumble
Cut it off and throw it away
Better to lose one part of your body
Than whole body gets thrown down into hell

Cut it out Cut it out Cut it out now
Cut it out Cut it out Cut it out now

Sun went down, night came around
And the darkness still lingers on
Talking is over - my mouth is empty
...all words have gone.

But one thing's left to do
One thing and it's up to you

Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out!
And take it wherever you may go.
Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out!
Without you I don't need it anymore.

What good is a heart when love went away?
What good is love when there's no heart to stay?


Good-byes and whys and silent cries
Try to function without feeling alive
The dream is over - I just woke up
But much too tired to do the next step

But one thing's left to do
One thing and it's up to you

Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out!
And take it wherever you may go.
Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out!
Without you I don't need it anymore.

What good is a heart when love went away?
What good is love when there's no heart to stay?


Someone sowed a seed
Deep into the muddy ground
Many big black clouds
Let rain drops falling down.

But finally you'll see
A flower of pure beauty
So, c'mon let our
Love be like this flower.

It's not over till it's over
You know that this is true
There's just one thing
That I have got for you: My heart.


Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out!
And take it wherever you may go.
Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out!
Without you I don't need it anymore.

What good is a heart when love went away?
What good is love when there's no heart to stay?

So, Cut It Out!

All our fortresses are made of paper
Morning paper, more bad news
Two kids after school playing games
Making up the rules
Solitary fools with calculating pocket watches
Watch the scene unfold on a street corner
Two blind men - recounting all they've seen
and when the foolish watches scream
This disease is what the world's about
Make fingers into scissors- cut it out

You don't know why you are so insecure
You are more than a boy
But you can't pronounce the 3 letter M word yet
I bet it's hard for you
I should know - I'm going through it too, and
Everything I know I have seen on a screen somewhere
You can be yourself and stay in character, and
If you can't decipher what she's saying when she shouts
All movies have this scene - don't cut it out

All this posturing, all this back and forth
All these partisan divides
It goes down like anti-freeze
Convenient when you need it
Fatal when you forget what it's for
That whole decade was a waste of time
- That is except for the good parts
Don't waste your time
Learning to digest the poison
If you're paralyzed by doubt
Can't figure what your heart's about
You're gonna need it for a while
Don't cut it out
You're gonna need it for a while
Don't cut it out

She caught a ride east from Vancouver
In the cab of a twenty ton semi truck
With a load of pine logs headed for Alberta
She had no destination it was just her luck
That when they reached the pass
Of the highest peak
The road was blocked
By fallen trees
So the driver turned his beard to her and said

Here's a chainsaw
We got some killer fuckin work let's do it.
Grab a chainsaw
There's only one way to go and that's through it
When there's something in your way and things get tough
You can whine or scream or pout
Or you can grab yourself a fuckin chainsaw and cut it out

He was an intern at Walter Reed
Assigned to the department of Oncology
He was scrubbed and he was prepped and they were opening
On their patient in surgical suite three.
"The cancer has
Metasticized
To the liver and the spleen!"
He cried.
So the surgeon turned her mask to him and said,

Here's a scalpel
We got some killer fuckin work let's do it.
Grab a scalpel
There's only one way to go and that's through it
When there's something in your way and things get tough
You can whine or scream or pout
Or you can grab yourself a fuckin scalpel and cut it out

If you need to put a hole in the wall (Cut it out)
If you go no room in your budget for the mall (Cut it out)
Got a new pattern and you're dying to try it? (Cut it out)
If you've got too much salt in your diet (Cut it out)
Got a minor in your major progression? (Cut it out)
If you do Dave Coulier impressions (Cut it out)
If there's something keeping your life from getting better (Cut it out)
That's what you do... (Cut it out)

It was the second day
Of nursery school
They needed paper ducks
And a paper pool
So the teacher turned her smile to them and said

Here's some scissors
We got some killer fuckin work let's do it.
Grab some scissors
There's only one way to go and that's through it
When there's something in your way and things get tough
You can whine or scream or pout
Or you can grab yourself some fuckin scissors and cut it out
