“Custer” is the eleventh track on Slipknot’s .5: The Gray Chapter.
In an interview for Kerrang! Magazine, frontman Corey Taylor spoke about this song:
Again, this is focusing that anger towards the outside world – the people who on one hand want to make us martyrs, but at the same time want to mak...

How 'bout this one?
De-da-dat, de-da-dat, de-da-dat-dat-dat
De-da-dat, de-da-dat, de-da-dat-dat-dat
[Intro]
Yeah
Yeah
Rise
[Interlude]
Half-alive and stark-raving free and maligned
For encroaching on the purpose of this commercial-free interruption
Due to the prolific nature of this statement
Listener aggression is advised
[Verse 1]
It's strange, whenever I see a gun
I think about just how petty you are
And it blows my fucking mind
Yeah, it blows my fucking mind
These days, I never seem to get enough
I'm tired of this shit, I wanna go home
Don't waste my fucking time
Don't waste my fucking time
Because anything exceptional
Gets crushed by common people
With jealousy and ignorance
And all their common evils
This planet isn't special
Collections made of clay
I'm waiting for the punishment
I know it's on my way
[Chorus]
Cut, cut, cut me up
And fuck, fuck, fuck me up
Cut, cut, cut me up
And fuck, fuck, fuck me up
Cut, cut, cut me up
And fuck, fuck, fuck me up
Cut, cut, cut me up
And fuck, fuck, fuck me up
Cut, cut, cut me up
And fuck, fuck, fuck me up
Cut, cut, cut me up
And fuck, fuck, fuck me up
[Post-Chorus]
Irreverence is my disease
It's secondhand, but you know me
The son of a bitch is on his knees
The last man standing gets no pity
[Verse 2]
Somewhere on a toilet wall, I read the words
"You form a line to formalize the former lies"
And I finally saw the truth
Something so profound, and it was sitting there
Surrounded by the garbage and the stains
Another victim of the refuse
Now I've been saying this for years
But you don't comprehend it
I fight hell and I fight fear
Because I understand it
Androgyny and insults
You try so hard to be difficult
You wanna win the war?
Know what you're fighting for
[Chorus]
Cut, cut, cut me up
And fuck, fuck, fuck me up
Cut, cut, cut me up
And fuck, fuck, fuck me up
Cut, cut, cut me up
And fuck, fuck, fuck me up
Cut, cut, cut me up
And fuck, fuck, fuck me up
Cut (Cut), cut (Cut), cut me up
And fuck (Fuck), fuck (Fuck), fuck me up
Cut (Cut), cut (Cut), cut me up
And fuck (Fuck), fuck (Fuck), fuck me up
[Post-Chorus]
Irreverence is my disease
It's secondhand, but you know me
The son of a bitch is on his knees
The last man standing gets no pity
With angel eyes and demon seeds
You're missing what you really need
When all is said and done, you see
The last man standing gets no pity
[Bridge]
(No pity)
(No pity)
(No pity)
(No pity)
(No pity)
[Chorus]
Cut, cut, cut me up
And fuck, fuck, fuck me up
Cut, cut, cut me up
And fuck, fuck, fuck me up
Cut (Cut), cut (Cut), cut me up
And fuck (Fuck), fuck (Fuck), fuck me up
Cut (Cut), cut (Cut), cut me up
And fuck (Fuck), fuck (Fuck), fuck me up
Cut, cut, cut me up
And fuck, fuck, fuck me up
Cut, cut, cut me up
And fuck, fuck, fuck me up
