Everybody's born with scissors in their hands And they tuck 'em away and do the best that they can To smile and to be nice and to make new friends Never to say goodbye never reaching the end With a toothy grin I push back in my mind Thoughts of punching in your face as I read between the lines Cuz somewhere along the way, subdued by omission I forgot that I had scissors, to free me from prison Cut those ties Leave 'em behind Quit reading what you read They would have left you for dead Cut those ties They crossed a line Quit believing what they said They would have left you for dead Kids will all learn that Santa's not real There are people to fear who murder rape and steal But it's harder to see when looking at yourself The ones who you are closest to are ruining your health Sorrys and favors make up for what they lack But excuses can never bridge a ten-mile gap Family bonds can be strong But if handcuffs are slippery blood frees you to move on Cut those ties Leave 'em behind Quit reading what you read They would have left you for dead Cut those ties They crossed a line Quit believing what they said They would have left you for dead x3

Well you can tell by the way I use my walk I'm a woman's man no time to talk Music loud and women warm I've been kicked around since I was born You know it's alright, it's okay You can look the other way We can try to understand The New York Time's effect on a man Whether you're a Brother or whether you're a mother You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive Feel the city breaking and everybody's shaking We're stayin' alive, stayin' alive Ah, ah, ah, ah Stayin' alive, stayin' alive Ah, ah, ah, ah, Stayin' alive Well now I get low and I get high And if I can't get either, I can try Wings of heaven on my shoes I'm a dancing man, no time to lose It's alright, it's okay We live to see another day We can try to understand The New York Time's effect on a man Whether you're a Brother or whether you're a mother You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive Feel the city breaking and everybody's shaking We're stayin' alive, stayin' alive Ah, ah, ah, ah Stayin' alive, stayin' alive Ah, ah, ah, ah, Stayin' alive Life's going nowhere, somebody help me Life's going nowhere, somebody help me Life's going nowhere, somebody help me yeah Well you can tell by the way I use my walk I'm a woman's man no time to talk Music loud and women warm I've been kicked around since I was born You know it's alright, it's okay You can look the other way We can try to understand The New York Time's effect on a man Whether you're a Brother or whether you're a mother You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive Feel the city breaking and everybody's shaking We're stayin' alive, stayin' alive Ah, ah, ah, ah Stayin' alive, stayin' alive Ah, ah, ah, ah, Stayin' alive Life's going nowhere, somebody help me Life's going nowhere, somebody help me, yeah

High school sports on the television Down to Mexico on a Bible mission No! I won't work the weekend Find another chump, Imma sleep in Do hard time or join the army? Bottoms up! Ain't life a party Our gas station chicken Is better than yours Our gas station chicken Is better than yours Roll a big rock right down a hillside Don't need a doctor, I'll be fine Taco stand raided by the Feds Gotta find another place to buy my meds Driving at night, playing submarine Getting too drunk at Little League! Our gas station chicken is better than yours The school's been falling down since '94 Every little building has a parking lot But we got good chicken and we serve it up hot Our gas station chicken is better than yours We got a secret sauce and we make it in store You think you got it better than there's the door Cuz we got a secret sauce and we make it in store
