Cut UP! Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Master
Automatic as you like
Automatic as you like
Blacklight, red light
Faster
Mother's gonna take you in
Mother's gonna take you in
Gaslight, petabyte
Disaster
Bullet in the megalodon
Bullet in the megalodon
Dogfight, dogfight
Oh, master
Are you gonna walk the plank?
Are you gonna walk the plank?
Hardware, software
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ah, ah) What would happen if I click?
(Ah, ah) What would happen if I'm—
[Chorus]
(Cut-up)
I got the money (Cut up)
I got the marking (Cut up)
I got the mission
I know where it's at
The widow told me (Cut up)
The meathead told me (Cut up)
The goatman told me
I know where it's at
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna pay the rent
I don't wanna pay the rent
Hear that? Hear that?
You dead duck
Ballerina in the back
Ballerina in the back
Get down, and keep down
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ah-ah) Drinking from a hollow skull
(Ah-ah) Yes, this is an awkward time
(Ah-ah) What would happen if I click?
(Ah-ah) What would happen if I'm
[Chorus]
(Cut up)
I got the money (Cut up)
I got the marking (Cut up)
I got the mission
I know where it's at
The widow told me (Cut up)
The meathead told me (Cut up)
The goatman told me
I know where it's at
The master told me (Cut up)
Kevin told me (Cut up)
The mirror told me
I know where it's at
The rhythm told me (Cut up)
The Pizza Boy told me (Cut up)
Goliath told me
I know where it's at
[Bridge]
I know where it's at
I know where it's at
(Ah, ah)
(I know where it's at) (Ah, ah)
Ooh, what would happen if I'm (Ah, ah)
What would happen if I'm—
[Chorus]
(Cut up)
I got the money (Cut up)
I got the marking (Cut up)
I got the mission
I know where it's at
The widow told me (Cut up)
The meathead told me (Cut up)
The goatman told me
I know where it's at
The master told me (Cut up)
Kevin told me (Cut up)
The mirror told me
I know where it's at
The rhythm told me (Cut up)
The Pizza Boy told me (Cut up)
Goliath told me
I know where it's at
