Cut Down - Sister Machine Gun

Cut down to the bone

All I get is a name on a headstone

Never wander around in the daylight

I take it all the other suckers try to tell me it’s alright

Whatever I do

It doesn’t matter 'cause I can’t please you

I don’t need another trip to the ghetto

Everything I think about has gotta be let go

Down to the same old scene

I think of every little thing I’ve been

And I don’t know what’s going on

But the things that I do know are all wrong

And you’re better than me, it’s easy to see

You’re twice whatever I could be

I never thought that I would need someone to set me free

Cut down

In the middle of a big old lie

Cut down

Everything is gonna be all right

Cut down

What am I supposed to do

When everything depends on you?

Cut down

In the middle of a big old lie

Cut down

Everything is gonna be all right

Cut down

What am I supposed to be

When everything comes down on me?

Same thing anyway

I just wanna try to make a getaway

Never wanted to be the one

With my back to the wall while I stare at the sun

My eyes wide open, you never can tell

The problem is I know damn well

That the things that I do don’t matter that much

I’ve been using a massive crutch

While the world goes by, leaves me behind

I probably need to be redesigned

So I stop living as if I’m dead

Like a man with a gun at the back of his head

And you’re better than me, it’s easy to see

You’re twice whatever I could be

I never thought that I would need someone to set me free
