The First Cut Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The first cut – is a criminal thing
The first cut – goes deeper in

[Pre-Chorus]
Each impression
Makes a chain reaction
Each impression
Will never be, never be, never be, never be broken

[Verse 2]
I'm a white girl – you can see my skin
Look at this picture – that I'm living in
And old scores
Never settle down
I'll keep on walking
Till I'm burried in the cold ground
Cold ground
Cold, cold ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh! Hey!
Each impression
Makes a chain reaction
Each impression
Will never be, never be, never be, never be broken
[Outro]
The first cut
The first cut
The first cut
The first cut
The first cut
The first cut
The first cut
The first cut
The first cut
The first cut
The first cut
The first cut
The first cut
The first cut
The first cut
The first cut

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
