  • I've been waiting patiently
    I built this tower quietly
    And when my well of Wellbutrin is
    Running dry of serotonin
    I can say things I don't mean
    Or maybe it's the truth in me
    I feel it building, bubbling up
    My t-t-time is up

    I'm so (mis-) misunderstood, (-un) but I live for this (-der)
    My money's good (-stood), and I came to win
    (Mis-) so step on up (-un), and I promise you

    Only one of us gon' make it out alive and it's not you
    (Cutthroat)
    Only one of us
    Only one of us gon' make it out alive and it's not you
    (Cutthroat)
    Only one of us
    Only one of us gon' make it out alive

    I've been making my Gethsemane
    Since I was young my ancestry
    Was marching martyrdom across the
    Ra-da-da-da-da-da, plains of Utah
    I can't lie, I've been played
    By powerful people who get their way
    But I in time will climb my mountain
    I in time will rise

    I'm so (mis-) misunderstood, (-un) but I live for this (-der)
    My money's good (-stood), and I came to win
    (Mis-) so step on up (-un), and I promise you
    Only one of us gon' make it out alive and it's not you
    (Cutthroat)
    Only one of us
    Only one of us gon' make it out alive and it's not you
    (Cutthroat)
    Only one of us
    Only one of us gon' make it out alive

    Try me
    Try me (ra-da-da-da-da-da)
    Cutthroat

    Only one of us
    Only one of us
    Not you (cutthroat)
    Only one of us
    Only one of us
    Only one of us

    (Get on the knee, get on the knee, get on the knee)
    (Get on the knee, get on the knee, get on the knee)
    (Get on the knee, get on the knee)

    Cutthroat (get on the knee)
    Cutthroat (get on the knee, get, get, get)
    Cutthroat (get, get, get, get, get, get, get)
