Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

The first cut
Is a criminal thing
The first cut
Goes deeper in
Each impression
Makes a chain reaction
Each impression
Will never be, never be, never be, never be broken
Ooh, I'm a white girl
You can see my skin
Look at this picture
That I'm living in, ooh
And old scores never settle down
I'll keep on walking
'Til I'm buried in the cold ground, cold ground, cold, cold ground
Ooh, yeah
Each impression
Makes a chain reaction
Each impression
Will never be, never be, never be, never be broken
The first cut (hey)
The first cut
(Hey, hey, hey)
The first cut
(Hey, hey, hey)
The first cut
(Hey, hey, hey)
The first cut
(Hey, hey, hey)
The first cut
(Hey, hey, hey)
The first cut
(Hey, hey, hey)
The first cut
Hello, George
I never saw you coming in
The first cut
(Hey, hey, hey)
The first cut
(Hey, hey, hey)
The first cut
(Hey, hey, hey)
The first cut
(Hey, hey, hey)
The first cut
(Hey, hey, hey)
The first cut
(Hey, hey, hey)
The first cut
(Hey, hey, hey)
The first cut
(Hey, hey, hey)
The first cut
(Hey, hey, hey)
The first cut
(Hey, hey, hey)
The first cut
