Cut the Cord lyrics

You've pulled a few strings,

stolen my ideas

Taken my kindness for granted;

You're not worth all the tears.

I see you're slipping stitches,

your setup, so passé

It's an easy victory for me

when your work's so cliché

Nobody stands a chance here in my way

Is it so wrong to be selfish for a change?

Nobody stands a chance here in my way

Is it so wrong to be selfish today?

Cut the cord

Mark the pins

You're not bad at darning, darling

But that doesn't mean anything

Cut the cord and mark the pins

You're not bad at what you do,

but it doesn't mean a thing.

Seamless needlework

Tailoring the perfect trim

I've got so much work to do,

Where on earth do I begin?

Fearless infantry

Stand behind me in my stride

Stopping's not an option

When your goals are anything like mine

You've put up a fight,

Tearing at the inseam

Watching everything falling apart

Won't keep me from my dream

Nobody stands a chance here in my way

Is it so wrong to be selfish for a change?

Nobody stands a chance here in my way

Is it so wrong to be selfish today?

Cut the cord

Mark the pins

You're not bad at darning, darling

But that doesn't mean anything

Cut the cord and mark the pins

You're not bad at what you do,

but it doesn't mean a thing.
