Sitting in darwins theory
And you're down in the 48
I'm practicing politics
Your 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
Hey my my my my rock star
Saw your feet leave the ground
You said all I wanted 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
I said
Cut it out
Cut it all out
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 our you're tender
Give you something good to remember
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)
I said
Cut it out
Cut it all out
Cut it out
Cut it all out
Hey my my my rock star
Cut it out
How did we get so turned around
Cut is all out
Hey my my my rock star
Cut it all out now
Cut it all out now
Hey my my my rock star
How did we get so turned around
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
How did we get so turned around
Cut it all out now
Cut it all out now
Hey my my my
Cut it all out
Out
