Cut From The Cloth Lyrics
Cut from the cloth, and cut quite severely
Is this my world I no longer recognize
I'm hearing common words, common expressions
But nothing is common in my eyes
How do people sleep amidst the slaughter
Why would they vote in favor of their own defeat
Get out to the well and check the water (water water)
Results were incomplete
Cut from the cloth
Cut from the cloth, and dead to the masses
Just another case to be eulogized
But I'm breathing, breathing with no assistance
And responding to stimuli
Can anyone explain these new laws of nature
Why would they rule in favor of their own defeat
Cynics are excused from standing up to problems (problems problems)
Because they can't get out of their seats
Cut from the cloth, ran out screaming
I hope that none of this will stick to me
Everyone is nice, everyone is kind now
At least they're nice and kind to me
Why would they fold up something so precious
Why would they sing in favor of their own defeat
Maybe they found their voice while out shopping
The price was hard to beat
Cut from the cloth
Cut from the cloth
Cut from the cloth
Cut from the cloth
Cut from the cloth
Cut from the cloth
Is this my world I no longer recognize
I'm hearing common words, common expressions
But nothing is common in my eyes
Why would they vote in favor of their own defeat
Get out to the well and check the water (water water)
Results were incomplete
Just another case to be eulogized
But I'm breathing, breathing with no assistance
And responding to stimuli
Why would they rule in favor of their own defeat
Cynics are excused from standing up to problems (problems problems)
Because they can't get out of their seats
I hope that none of this will stick to me
Everyone is nice, everyone is kind now
At least they're nice and kind to me
Why would they sing in favor of their own defeat
Maybe they found their voice while out shopping
The price was hard to beat
Cut from the cloth
Cut from the cloth
Cut from the cloth

Though i think there is some merit to the thoughts that the song has something to do with America being fucked, i believe it goes deeper than just society. It seems to me as if Ian was writing about his experience as a human, not merely an American. He expresses in the song his disconnection with other humans. That it is hard to connect with them and express to them the err in their ways.ultimately, i feel he empathizes with everyone else. Seeing perhaps how he too is guilty of the same things but in different degrees. but don't get me wrong. bush was a real dick. and the clothes at the GAP are lame
discontent about society,mm in general words..
oh, and i listened to this song live two weeks ago GREAT-SHOW
i think this song about the united states and their government. i feel that the "Cloth" is the american flag and many people or countries are "cut" or affected negatively by america.
the like "why would they vote in favor of their own defeat" is america "voting" for george bush who is sending troops into the middle east to be killed or "defeated"
