Lyrics

Cutthroat

Big, beautiful, naked women fall out the sky
Motherfucker, I was born to die
Sweaty Roman armies, fighting naked down in the dirt
Shouting, Always want more than your worth
Get in good and get in first
They like the boys, and the girls
They like having fun with everyone
They like the boys, and the girls
They like having fun with everyone
And why not?
Do what you wanna do?
And why not?
Do what you wanna do?
I know you won't quit
You won't take it like this
And I know that you won't
Take it like this, take it like this, take it like, raw
And you know what's wrong
And you know what's right
And that's big, beautiful, naked women falling out the sky
Motherfucker
I was born to die
I was born to die
They like the boys, and the girls
They like having fun with everyone
They like the boys, and the girls
They like having fun with everyone
And why not?
Do what you wanna do?
Why not?
Do what you wanna do?
Murder
Right now
Murder
Right now
Take what you want
When you want
What you want
When you want
And you take it like this, take it like this (Take it like this)
Take it like this, take it like this (Take it like this)
Take it like this, take it like this (Take it like this)
Take it like this, take it like this
Motherfucker
I was born to die
Motherfucker
I was born to die
Why does it hurt to feel so numb?
I'm sure I'm not the only one
'Cause I'm afraid to stay the same
So, why not?
Do what you wanna do?
So, why not?
Do what you wanna do?
