(It's Time To) Cut The Cord R Bennett Okerstrom
Thirty-three reasons
Are all you need
Trying to take stone
And make it bleed
Saving forever
Before you leave
*
Pulling the trigger
Is hard for you
Unless it involves
The people you screw
Not really sure why you
Do what you do
*
Your cement shoes are poured
So pray unto your lord
You've walked into my sword
And it's time to cut the cord
*
Nowhere to go
You're making the most
Take one more dose
And then
Cut the cord
Cut the cord
