Cut Out The Disease Lyrics

You make your living from backstabbing
You're just a snake in hand made boots
You slither round like something slimy
Nothing's ever what it seems

Cut out the disease
The lies and deceit
Cut out the disease
The lies and deceit

You circle around just like a vulture
You're waiting for your piece of meat
Beneath your charm there's something hiding
The way you spin your vicious web

Cut out the disease
The lies and deceit
Cut out the disease
The lies and deceit

We did it all - we did it all for you
Did it all - we did it all for you

Once, you were our friend
But you betrayed us in the end

Confrontation was your weakness
Evil lies behind that smile
You slither round like something slimy
You're just a snake in handmade boots

Cut out the disease
The lies and deceit
Cut out the disease
The lies and deceit

Once, you were our friend
But you betrayed us in the end

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is fairly straightforward, conveying a warning message of betrayal, deceit, and the need to sever toxic relationships or influences from one's life. It depicts a situation where someone has proved to be untrustworthy, manipulative, and two-faced, ultimately leading to feeling a sense of loss and disappointment for falling for their lies. This serves as a warning to steer clear from those who pretend to be your friends but are actually out to deceive and harm you or others. It's a simple but important cautionary tale that encourages listeners to be vigilant, avoid falling prey to deceitful individuals, and prioritize authenticity and trust in their relationships.
