Cut and dry
You can’t be deceived
You can’t live a lie
Cut and dried
Full of self esteem
Hold your head up high
Cut and dry
You can never be deceived
You still have a life apart from the regime
Cut and dry
You can never disbelieve
Part of the machine
Hold your head up high

Never mind the questions
Forget about the answers

[Chorus]
I can’t wait to see
The tearful revelations
Just jump to believe
What is told
What is sold
You’ll pay to breathe
The tyranny and oppression
The daily reprieve
A fearful situation

Cut and dry
You’ll remain in need
You will question life
Cut and dry
Victim of a scheme
Hang your head and cry
Cut and dried
You will be deceived
You won’t have a life
Apart from your routine
Cut and dried
You can never be believed
Slave to the machine
Hang your head and cry
Never mind the questions
Forget about the answers

[Chorus]

Cut and dry
Cut and dried
Cut and dry
Cut and dry

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Cut and dry
You can’t be deceived
You can’t live a lie
Cut and dry
Part of the machine
Cut and dry
Victim of a scheme
And you will be deceived
Cut and dry
A slave to the machine
Cut and dry
