Indigo Girls
Cut It Out
[Verse 1]
Sitting in Darwin's Theory
And you're down in the forty-eight
I'm practicing politics
You're practicing guitar and staying out late
How'd we get so turned around?
Why did we make it so hard?
Why can't we cut it out tender?
Give us something good to remember

[Verse 2]
Hey my my my rock star
Saw your feet leave the ground
You said all I want to be is loud
I was ushering your friends in
I was, I was, I was trying to clear the aisles
How'd you get so turned around?
Why did you make it so hard?
Why can't you cut it out? I'm tender
Give me something good to remember

[Chorus]
I said
Cut it out
Cut it all out
[Verse 3]
So it's Alaska in the summertime
In the wintertime I'm free
The days are short, cold and wasted
Nowhere is warm enough for me
Baby, you tell me what happened
Why did I make it so hard?
Can't I cut it out? You're tender
Give you something good to remember

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, you tell me what happened
(Why did we make it so hard?)
How did I make it so hard?
(Can you tell me what happened?)
I wonder
Oh, cut it out, I'm tender
(Why did we make it so hard?)
Give me something
Give me something good to remember
(Why did we make it so hard?)
(Why did we make it so hard?)
(Can you tell me what happened?)
(Why did we make it so hard?)
(Can you tell me what happened?)
(Why did you make it so hard?)
(Can you tell me what happened)
(Why did we make it so hard?)
(Can you tell me what happened?)
[Chorus]
I said
Cut it out
Cut it all out
Cut it out
Cut it all out

[Post-Chorus]
(Hey my my my rock star)
(Cut it out)
(How did we get so turned around?)
(Cut it all out)
(Hey my my my rock star)
Cut it all out now
Cut it all out now
(Hey my my my rock star)
Cut it all out now
Cut it all out now
(Hey my my my rock star)
Cut it all out now
Cut it all out now
(Hey my my my rock star)
Cut it all out now
Cut it all out now
(Hey my my my)
Cut it all out
Out
