Fresh Cuts: The Art Of Being Knife Happy

Cut your wrist;
            stop the pain with razors
Cut your arm;
            the art of being reckless
Cut your nails;
            beauty drenched in endorsement deals
Cut your tongue;
            stop the lies from forming
Cut your knee;
            learn through an accident
            (or from one)
Cut your finger;
            my blood brothers left me to die
Cut your life short;
            drink yourself a tragedy
            (They sold you a drug and an alibi to fill a void.)
Cut your hair;
            scratch the pavement with rusted fingernails
            (Stephen Malkmus sold us fractured melodies.)
Cut a record;
            make yourself famous for a day
Cut a deal;
            hold onto the fame till it burns you out
            (You're only as guilty as you feel.)
Cut an onion;
            learn to fake the drama like everybody else
Cut and paste;
            words can set you free eventually
Cut yourself shaving;
            becoming human always felt so wrong
Cut a flower freshly;
            set it free for a gorgeous fee
Cut down a tree;
            let a strip mall grow in its place
            (Watch us evolve like currency.)
Cut a wire, preferably the television one;
            witness the world through another box
Cut a class;
            let them judge you by your patience
            (I couldn't endure another wasted moment.)
Cut a rug;
            dance, baby, dance, fists pumping in the wind
Cut a glance;
            shape your view like magazines
Cut a diamond;
            a mirror holds a million fits
Cut a string, preferably a guitar string;
            never give it the chance to break on its own
Cut a conversation short;
            we're all so busy with our fragile moods
Cut my son out of the will;
            what did the little bastard ever do for me?
Cut off all ties;
            the bottom of the bottle leaves you severed and bruised

Cut yourself off
            from the world...

One excuse.
One mistake.
One attempt.
Choose your poison;
            choose your weapon.
And you live forever.

Cut the power...
