lyrics

Inadequately lubricated 2am ultrasound
Immaculate Mary in an open ass nightgown
‘Til they get their domestic supply of infants filled
These old white digi-garchs just want to kill
Crowdfund my hospital bill
Amazon Prime me a Morning After Pill
The precision is in the cut
So measure twice Doc and cut once

Measure twice,
cut once
Measure twice,
cut once
Measure twice,
cut once
The precision’s in the cut
The precision’s in the cut
The precision’s in the cut
Cut cut cut cut c-c-c-c-ut

How will my womanhood and self worth ever be measured?
Ahhh, the pleasure and the pressure!
What’s left of me to be treasured ?
I’m king of the castle
I paid extra to have this suit tailored
Silk lined, skinny tie and 30 inch inseam
Look me in the eye when you’re talking to me

Measure twice,
cut once
Measure twice,
cut once
Measure twice,
cut once
The precision’s in the cut
The precision’s in the cut
The precision’s in the cut
Cut cut cut cut c-c-c-c-ut

The creditors keep calling me
How much more can I bleed?
I don’t have your money
I’m taking my autonomy
I'm walking out, buttoned up, freshly pressed and head held high

Measure twice,
cut once
Measure twice,
cut once
Measure twice,
cut once
The precision’s in the cut
The precision’s in the cut
The precision’s in the cut
Cut cut cut cut c-c-c-c-ut
