Merch cut 

When a live music venue takes a percentage of what a band or group earns from selling merchandise such as t-shirts and CDs at a gig. AKA stealing

Our band doesn't make as much money as we used to because a lot of venues are forcing us to take a merch cut.

Cuts Marked in the March of Men 

A song by Coheed and Cambria on the album "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3"
From the POV of Jesse and Chase.

Jesse's preparing his men to charge forward in a final stand. They're all uneasy, but he asks, "Are you ready on my mark?" before giving the signal. The only comforts for his men are their weapons, or being in arms. They know they can't stop what they're facing, but they really have no choice other than to surrender and they wish they can kill it. Sometime during this battle he finds that Chase, his "daughter", was captured. He tries to call in others to help, or something of the sort, but his COMlink is broken. So, he turns himself over for Chase. He expects her to be returned back to his side in the exchange, and I assume that's what happened. It doesn't necessarily have to be Jesse, it could be the other boy shown at the beginning of the comic (which is William), but for my interpretation it is Jesse.

Cuts Marked in The March of Men is the third track on IKSOSE: 3.
