(Stop it!) Darlin' don't you go and cut your hair Do you think it's gonna make him change? I'm just a boy with a new haircut And that's a pretty nice haircut Charge it like a puzzle Hit men wearing muzzles Hesitate you die Look around, around The second drummer drowned His telephone was found Music scene's crazy Bands start up each and every day (Cool guitar sound here) I saw another one just the other day A special new band I remember lying I don't remember a line I don't remember a word But I don't care, I care, I really don't care Did you see the drummer's hair? Advertising looks and chops a must No big hair! Songs mean a lot when songs are bought And so are you Face right down to the practice room Attention and fame's a career Career, career, career

O single “Cut Your Hair” se tornou o maior sucesso comercial de Pavement, alcançando o top ten da Billboard Alternative Songs em 1994 e permanecendo no ranking por 12 semanas.
A música critica de forma irônica a obsessão por imagem na indústria musical, inclusive apresentando um verso que satiriza um anúncio de recrutamento de músicos que exigem “looks e chops” e “no big hair”.
A versão de 12" do single inclui um B‑side instrumental não listado, “Rain Ammunition”, que nunca foi reeditado em nenhum outro lançamento.
Em 2007, a revista NME classificou “Cut Your Hair” como o 28º maior hino indie de todos os tempos, consolidando seu status como referência cultural no cenário alternativo.
Os dois B‑sides originais do single foram posteriormente disponibilizados no reissue “Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain: LA's Desert Origins”.
