It could be a deadbeat, a smooching kiss of death Going on the defense, binding to bitterness Throw it off, throw it off Got your name, got your face, got a record of your mistakes It’s too easy to end up sneering It’s been too long now Yes it was tough, now free yourself, cut it off You could *age* so quickly in a year of judges And if you stand there dwelling, You’re no better than your grudges Oh how it burns, oh how it burns It’s too easy to end up sneering It’s been too long now Yes it was tough, now free yourself, cut it off *Yes it was tough, now free yourself, cut it off* Don’t let it stop, no, free yourself, cut it off It could be better, free yourself, cut it off Yes it was tough, now free yourself, cut it off You could age so quickly in a year of judges They see you fall on your face Cut yourself off from the smudges Oh how it burns, oh how it burns *It’s too easy to end up sneering It’s been too long now Yes it was tough, now free yourself, cut it off Yes it was tough, now free yourself, cut it off Don’t let it stop, no, free yourself, cut it off It could be better, free yourself, cut it off Yes it was tough, now free yourself, cut it off Yes it was tough, yes it was tough Now cut it off, cut it off*
