"Cutthroat" lyrics

"Cutthroat"

I've been waiting patiently
I built this tower quietly
And when my well of Wellbutrin is
Running dry of serotonin
I can say things I don't mean
Or maybe it's the truth in me
I feel it building, bubbling up
My t-t-time is up

I'm so misunderstood, but I live for this
My money's good, and I came to win
So step on up, and I promise you
Only one of us gon' make it out alive and it's not you
(Cutthroat)
Only one of us
Only one of us gon' make it out alive and it's not you
(Cutthroat)
Only one of us
Only one of us gon' make it out alive

I've been making my Gethsemane
Since I was young my ancestry
Was marching martyrdom across the
Radadadadumbla plains of Utah
I can't lie, I've been played
By powerful people who get their way
But I in time will climb my mountain
I in time will rise

I'm so misunderstood, but I live for this
My money's good, and I came to win
So step on up, and I promise you
Only one of us gon' make it out alive and it's not you
(Cutthroat)
Only one of us
Only one of us gon' make it out alive and it's not you
(Cutthroat)
Only one of us
Only one of us gon' make it out alive

Try me
Try me
(Ra-da-da-da-da-da-da-da)
Cutthroat
Only one of us, only one of us, not you (Cutthroat)
Only one of us, only one of us
Only one of us
Get on my knee, get on my knee
Get on my knee, get on my knee
Get on my knee, get on my knee
Get on my knee, get on my knee
Cutthroat (Get on my knee)
Cutthroat (Get on my knee)
Cutthroat (Get-get-get, get-get-get)
Cutthroat

"Cutthroat" (and its companion track "Follow You") were the first singles released from Imagine Dragons' fifth studio album on the 12th of March 2021. Two day before the release, Dan Reynolds posted a picture of the band on Instagram with the caption "Over a decade together and still my best friends. I'm incredibly proud and lucky to be in a band with you. And yes this week it all begins again," hinting at the new era in their music.
Imagine Dragons teased this song with a series of short videos posted on Twitter starting from the 6th of March 2021. The videos showed animals, nature, some pictures of the band, and some words. One of the video suggested to ask Alexa, Amazon's voice assistant, the question "Is Ragged Insomnia a good band name?" The assistant would answer, "That's a good question. There are two sides to every coin. Ask to follow Imagine Dragons on Amazon Music to find out on March 12th."
