Marilyn Manson | Portrait Of An American Family Lyrics July 19, 1994 Nothing / Interscope

Prelude (The Family Trip) 1:20

There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going

There's no knowing where we're going
Or which way the wind is blowing
Is it raining? Is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Oh, the fires of hell are glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
Yes! The danger must be growing

For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing!
Stop the boat!

Cake & Sodomy 3:463

I am the god of fuck, I am the god of fuck
Virgins sold in quantity, herded by heredity
Red neck burn out mid west mind,
who said date rape isn't kind?
Porno nation, evaluation what's this time for segregation
Libido, libido fascination, too much oral defecation
White trash get down on your knees,
time for cake and sodomy
Time for cake and sodomy

(I am the god of fuck, I am the god of fuck)
VCR's and Vaseline, tv-fucked by plastic queens
Cash in hand and dick on screen,
who said god was ever clean?
Bible-belt round anglo-waste,
putting sinners in their place
Yeah, right, great if you're so good explain the shit stains on your face
White trash get down on your knees,
time for cake and sodomy

Time for cake and sodomy

Lunchbox 4:32

On we plow
The big bully try to stick his finger in my chest
Try to tell me, tell me he's the best
But I don't really give a good goddamn cause
I got my lunchbox and I'm armed real well
I got my lunchbox and I'm armed real well
I got my lunchbox and I'm armed real well
I wanna grow up
I wanna be a big rock and roll star
I wanna grow up I wanna be
So no one fucks with me
I got the pencils in my pocket, try to put me down
Wanna go out, gotta get out
To the playground, gonna throw down at the playground
I wanna go out
Next motherfucker gonna get my metal
Next motherfucker gonna get my metal
Next motherfucker gonna get my metal
Next motherfucker gonna get my metal
Pow pow pow,
pow pow pow,
pow pow pow,
pow pow pow
I wanna grow up I wanna be a big rock and roll star I wanna grow up
I wanna be
So no one fucks with me

Organ Grinder 4:22

I am the face of piss and shit and sugar
I do a crooked little dance with my funny little monkey
What I want, what I want is just your children
I hate what I have become to escape what I hated being
Calliopenis envy from your daddy
You're not gonna hear what he don't want to hear
What I say disgusts him
He wants to be me and that scares him
Lets do a funny little dance with my funny little monkey

The black keys
Here is my real head, here is my real head
I wear this fucking mask because you cannot handle me
Here is my real head
They try to blink me not to think me
Don't want to bring me out I am the rotten teeth,
my fists are lined with suckers
My prison skin's an eyesore mirror sketch pad
I am your son

Your dad
Your fag
Your fad
Here is my real head, here is my real head
I wear this fucking mask because you cannot handle me
Here is my real head

Cyclops 3:32

Cyclops woman got one eye in her head
Mascara-clotted vision she is fed
Cyclops woman can't see nothing at all
She got a pin prick spiral hole
She can't see nothing, nothing at all
She can't see nothing, nothing at all
Cyclops woman dying in her shell
Guilt got her trapped in nailed in well
Cyclops woman is the eye of the world

Who's reflection's in the retina?
He can't see nothing, nothing at all
She can't see nothing, nothing at all
Dilate, dilate

Dope Hat 4:21

I peek into the hole, I struggle for control
The children love the show,
but they fail to see the anguish in my eyes
Fail to see the anguish in my eyes
I scratch around the brim, I let my mind give in
The crowd begins to grin,
but they seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes
Seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes, it's no surprise
Fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic

My big top tricks will always make you happy,
but we all know the hat is wearing me
My bag is in the hat, it's filled with this and that
My vision's getting fat, the rabbit's just a monkey in disguise
Stars and pills and needles dance before our eyes
They will bite the hand if it is slower than
the quickness of their scrutinizing eyes
Fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic
My big top tricks will always make you happy,

but we all know the hat is wearing me
Chicanery will always make you happy,
but we all know the hat is wearing me

Get Your Gunn 3:18

Goddamn your righteous hand
I eat innocent meat
The housewife I will beat

The prolife I will kill
What you don't do I will
I bash myself to sleep
What you sow I will reap
I scar myself you see
I wish I wasn't me
I am the little stick
You stir me into shit
I hate therefore I am

Goddamn your righteous hand
Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn
Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak
But your selective judgments
And good guy badges
Don't mean a fuck to me
I throw a little fit I slit my teenage wrist
The most that I can learn

Is in records that you burn
Get your gunn, get your gunn get your gunn, get your gunn
Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak
But your selective judgments
And good guy badges
Don't mean a fuck to me
I am the VHS
Record me with your fist

You want me to save the world I'm just a little girl
Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak
But your selective judgments
And good guy badges
Don't mean a fuck to me
Get your gunn, get your gunn Get your gunn, get your gunn…
Get!

Wrapped In Plastic 5:35

Guilt is a snake we beat with a rake
To grow in our kitchen in the pies we bake
Feed it to us to squirm in our bellies
Twisting our guts make our spines to jelly
Stay, don't want to go now
Drove the children from their chores
Handcrafted housewives into whores
Fear of the beast is calling it near
Creating what we're hating, it's only fear that is here

Stay, don't want to go now
Come into our home, won't you stay?
I know the steak is cold but it's wrapped in plastic
Come into our home, won't you stay?
I know the steak is cold but it's wrapped in plastic
I'm only as deep as the self that I dig
I'm only as sick as the stick in the pig
Thin and so white, thin and so white
Daddy tells the daughter

While mommy's sleeping at night
To wash away sin you must take off your skin
The righteous father wears the yellowest grin
Don't wanna go now
Stay, don't wanna go now, stay, don't wanna go now
Come into our home, won't you stay?
I know the steak is cold but it's wrapped in plastic

Dogma 3:22

Burn the witches, burn the witches,
don't take time to sew your stitches
Burn the witches, burn the witches
Good is the thing that you favor, evil is your sour flavor
You cannot sedate all the things you hate
Burn your bridges, burn your bridges,
don't take time to sew your stitches
Burn your bridges, burn your bridges
Good is the thing that you favor, evil is your sour flavor

I don't need your hate, I decide my fate
You cannot sedate all the things you rape

Sweet Tooth 5:03

Her heart shivers in my hand
She's melting on me like cotton candy
I make the faces that make you cry
I want you more when you're afraid of
My disease, disease is draining me
Anymore you're not so ‘pretty please'
Disease, disease is draining me
I want you more when you're afraid of me
I will break you inside out

You are mine, you are mine
I will break you inside out
You are mine, you are mine
Her hair hangs in swollen strings
I'm choking on her, it feels so sickening
I make the faces that make you cry
I want you more when you're afraid of
My disease, disease is draining me
Anymore you're not so pretty, please

Disease, disease is draining me
I want you more when you're afraid of me
I will break you inside out
You are mine, you are mine

Snake Eyes & Sissies 4:07

Wrench is just a household God
but I carry mine with pride
I don't work but I can work with it to split your smile
Run you down without a twitch,
your car's just not as big as mine
Tear the son out of your bitch and
sprinkle your remains with lime
I ain't no workin' man,
I do the best I can,

I got the devil's hand
Rollin' sixes
I am the habit man,
I use up all I can, I got the slacker's hand
My afternoon's remote control
Daydream milk and genocide
Tranquility with broken knees, silly putty enemies
Butter knife in your side
What I got I got for free, middle finger technology

What's yours is mine, yours is mine,
told you fucker, yours is mine
Snake eyes for sissies
I ain't no workin' man,
I do the best I can,
I got the devil's hand
Rollin' sixes
I am the habit man,
I use up all I can, I got the slacker's hand

I am the pedophile's dream
A messianic Peter Pan
Just a boy, just a boy, just a little fucking boy,
I can never be a man
I ain't no workin' man,
I do the best I can,
I got the devil's hand
Rollin' sixes
I am the habit man,

I use up all I can, I got the slacker's hand
I ain't no workin' man,
I do the best I can,
I got the devil's hand
I am the habit man,
I use up all I can, I got the slacker's hand
(Oh no, Oh no)

My Monkey 4:31

I had a little monkey
I sent him to the country and I fed him on gingerbread
Along came a choo-choo, knocked my monkey coo-coo
And now my monkey's dead
At least he looks that way, but then again don't we all
(what I make is what I am, I can't be forever)
I had a little a monkey I sent him to the country and I fed him on
gingerbread
Along came a choo-choo, knocked my monkey coo-coo
And now my monkey's dead
Poor little monkey
'Make you…break you…make you…break you…lookout'
(what I make is what I am, I can't live forever)
We are our own wicked gods
With little g's and big dicks
Sadistic and constantly inflicting a slow demise
I had a little a monkey I sent him to the country and I fed him on
gingerbread
Along came a choo-choo, knocked my monkey coo-coo
And now my monkey's dead
The primate's scream of consonance is a reflection
Of his own mind's dissonance

Misery Machine 13:11

Man in the front got a sinister grin
careen down highway 666
We wanna go, crush the slow,
as the pitchfork bends the
needles grow

My arms are wheels,
my legs are wheels,
my blood is pavement
We're gonna ride to the abbey of Thelema,
to the abbey of Thelema
Blood is pavement

The grill in the front is my sinister grin,
bugs in my teeth make me sick sick sick
The objects may be larger than they appear in the mirror

My arms are wheels,
my legs are wheels,
my blood is pavement
We're gonna ride to the abbey of Thelema,
to the abbey of Thelema
Blood is pavement

When you ride you're ridden,
when you ride you're ridden

I am fueled by filth and fury
Do what I will, I will hurry there, there

My arms are wheels,
my legs are wheels,
my blood is pavement
Blood is pavement

Sweet Dreams 4:53

Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
Sweet dreams are made of these

Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
I wanna use you and abuse you
I wanna know what's inside you

Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you

Some of them want to be abused
I'm gonna use you and abuse you
I'm gonna know what's inside
Gonna use you and abuse you
I'm gonna know what's inside you

I Put A Spell On You 3:36

I put a spell on you
because you're mine
I can't stand the things that you do
No, no, no, I ain't lyin'
No
I don't care if you don't want me,
cause I'm yours, yours, yours anyhow
Ieah, I'm yours, yours, yours
I love you, I love you
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah…
I put a spell on you
Lord, lord, lord!
Cause you're mine, yeah
I can't stand the things that you do
when you're foolin' around
I don't care if you don't want me,
cause i'm yours, yours, yours anyhow
Yeah, yours, yours, yours
I can't stand your foolin' around
If I can't have you,
no one will
I love you, you, you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, you, you
I don't care if you don't want me,
cause I'm yours, yours, yours anyhow

Rock 'n' Roll Nigger 3:31

And the world spreads its legs....
And the world spreads its legs
For another fuckin' star!
'Cause I AM the all-american Antichrist.
I was made in america,
And america hates ME for what I am.
I am YOUR shit.
You should be ashamed of what you have eaten.
I'm a rock & roll nigger!

Baby was a black sheep.
Baby was a whore.
Baby's gotten big,
And baby's getting bigger.
Baby got somethin'.
Baby want more.
Baby, baby, baby was a rock & roll nigger.
How do you like the world around you?
Do you like what you see?
How do you like the world around you?
Ready to be....


Outside of society,
Waiting for me.
Outside of society
Is where I wanna be.


Baby was a black sheep.
Baby was a whore.
Baby got big,
And baby's getting bigger.
Baby got a gun,
Got her finger on the trigger.
Baby, baby, baby was a rock & roll nigger.


Nigger.
Rock & roll nigger.
I'm a rock & roll nigger.
This is your world in which we grow,
And we will grow to hate you.
We will grow to hate you.
We will grow. We will grow.
We will grow to hate you.


1-2-3-4!
I was lost in the valley of pleasure.
I was lost in the infinite sea.
I was lost and begging for pleasure.
And this world is waiting for me.
Jimi Hendrix was a nigger.
Jesus Christ and grandma, too.
Brian Warner (what a nigger!)
Nigger, nigger, nigger nigger nigger!
[Chorus Twice]
Yeah! Yeah!
Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!
FUCK YOU!

 
Marilyn Manson | Antichrist Svperstar Lyrics October 8, 1996 Nothing / Interscope

Irresponsible Hate Anthem4:17

Recorded live February 14, 1997

i am so all-American, i'd sell you suicide
i am totalitarian, i've got abortions in my eyes
i hate the hater, i'd rape the raper
i am the animal who will not be himself
fuck it
hey victim, should i black your eyes again?
hey victim, you were the one who put the stick in my hand
am the ism, my hate's a prism
let's just kill everyone and let your god sort them out
fuck it
everybody's someone else's nigger
i know you are so am i
i wasn't born with enough middle fingers
i don't need to choose a side
i better, better, better, better not say this
better, better, better, better not tell
i hate the hater, i'd rape the raper
i am the idiot who will not be himself
fuck it
(chorus)

The Beautiful People3:38

i don't want you and i don't need you
don't bother to resist, i'll beat you
it's not your fault that you're always wrong
the weak ones are there to justify the strong
the beautiful people, the beautiful people
it's all relative to the size of your steeple
you can't see the forest for the trees
and you can't smell your own shit on your knees
hey you, what do you see?
something beautiful, something free?
hey you, are you trying to be mean?
if you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean
there's no time to discriminate
hate every motherfucker
that's in your way
the worms will live in every host
it's hard to pick which one they eat most
the horrible people, the horrible people
it's as anatomic as the size of your steeple
capitalism has made it this way,
old-fashioned fascism
will take it away
(chorus)

Dried Up, Tied Up And Dead To The World4:15

you cut off all of your fingers
trade them in for dollar bills
cake on some more make-up to
cover up all those lines
wake up and stop shaking
cause you're just wasting time
don't you want some of this?
don't you need some of this?
you take but cannot be given
you ride but cannot be ridden
pinch this tiny heart of mine
wrap it up in soiled twine
you never read what you've written
i'll be your lover, i'll be forever
i'll be tomorrow, i am anything when i'm high
don't you want some of this?
don't you need some of this?
you shove your hair down my throat
i feel your fingers in me
tear this bitter fruit to mess
and wrap it in your soiled dress
now you must spit out the seeds
(chorus)
all dried up and tied up forever
all fucked up and dead to the world…

Tourniquet4:29

she's made of hair and bone and little teeth
and things I cannot speak
she comes on like a crippled plaything
spine is just a string
I wrapped our love in all this foil
silver-tight like spider legs
i never wanted it to ever spoil
but flies will always lay their eggs
take your hatred out on me
make your victim my head
you never ever believed in me
i am your tourniquet
prosthetic synthesis with butterfly
sealed up with virgin stitch
if it hurts, just tell me
preserve the innocence
i never wanted it to end this way
but flies will lay their eggs

Little Horn2:43

there's an apple in the pussy mouth
now i am the dinner whore
there's a tumor in the t.v. mouth
burn it out before it grows
someone better get the dog to kick,
jaws wired shut to save the dick
out of the bottomless pit comes the little horn
"little horn is born"
the world spreads its legs for another star
world shows its face for another scar
dead will dance for what is left
the worms will wait with bated breath
"your blind have now become my deaf"
so says this little horn
"save yourself from this…"
(chorus)

Cryptorchid2:44

Each time I make my Mother cry
An Angel dies and falls from Heaven

Aaah, when they get to you...

When a Boy is still a Worm it's hard
To learn the number seven

Aaah, when they get to you...

Five, six, seven, eight never it's the first thing that they do...
Seven, eight, nine, ten Heaven when they get to you...
Four, three, two, one never get to seven

Each time I look outside my Mother
Dies, I feel my back is changing shape

When they get to you...

When the Worm consumes the Boy it's never, ever
Considered rape

When they get to you...

I wish I had the Balls
It's the first thing that they do...
I wish I had the Balls
When they get to you...

Prick your finger it is done...
The Moon has now eclipsed the Sun...
The Angel has spread its wings...
The time has come for bitter things...

Prick your finger it is done...
The Moon has now eclipsed the Sun...
The Angel has spread its wings...
The time has come for bitter things...

Prick your finger it is done...
The Moon has now eclipsed the Sun...
The Angel has spread its wings...
The time has come for bitter things...

Prick your finger it is done...
The Moon has now eclipsed the Sun...
The Angel has spread its wings...
The time has come for bitter things...

Prick your finger it is done...
The Moon has now eclipsed the Sun...
The Angel has spread its wings...
The time has come for bitter things...

Deformography4:31

when you wish upon a star
don't let yourself fall, fall in too hard
i fell into you and i'm on my back
an insect decaying in your little trap
i squirm into you, now i'm in your gut
i fell into you, now I'm in a rut
"i lift you up like the sweetest angel,
i'll tear you down like a whore.
i will bury your god in my warm spit,
you'll be deformed in your porn"
rock star, yeah (you're such a dirty, dirty)
rock star, yeah (dirty, dirty, dirty)
you eat up my heart and all the little parts
your star is so sharp
it leaves me jagged holes
i make myself sick just to poison you
if i can't have you then no one will
(chorus)
you are the one i want and what i want is so unreal
i'm such a dirty rock star yeah…
(i am the one you want and the one you want is so unreal)

Wormboy3:56

when will realize you're already there?
so watered down-your feelings have turned to mud.
"love everybody" is destroying the value of
all hate has got me nowhere
i know i'm slipping, i know i'm slipping, i know i'm slipping away
oh no, it is everything they said it was
oh no, i am everything they said i was
when you get to heaven you will wish you're in hell
when will you realize, you're already here
you'll thank us now that you have crossed over
don't pick the scabs or you will never heal
the world shudders as the worm gets its wings
(chorus)
then i got my wings and i never even knew it
when i was a worm, thought i wouldn't get through it…

Mr. Superstar5:04

hey. mr. superstar:
"i'll do anything for you"
"i'm your number one fan"
hey mr. porno star, i, i, i, i want you
hey mr. sickly star,
i want to get sick from you
hey mr. fallen star,
don't you know i worship you?
hey mr. big rock star,
"i wanna grow up just like you"
i know that i can turn you on
i wish I could just turn you off
i never wanted this
hey mr. superhate,
i just want to love you
hey, hey, hey mr. superfuck,
i wanna go down on you
hey mr. supergod,
will you answer my prayers?
hey, hey, hey mr. superman,
i want to be your little girl
(chorus)
hey mr. superstar,
i'll kill myself for you
hey mr. superstar,
i'll kill you if i can't have you
superstar, superfuck baby…

Angel With The Scabbed Wings3:53

he is the angel with the scabbed wings
hard-drug face, want to powder his nose
he will deflower the freshest crop
dry up all the wombs with his rock and roll sores
dead
is what he is, he does what he please
the things that he has you'll never want to see
what you're never gonna be now
sketch a little keyhole for looking-glass people
you don't want to be him
you only want to see him
mommy's got a scarecrow, gotta let the corn grow
man can't always reap what he sow
"he is the maker"
(he is the taker)
"he is the saviour"
(he is the raper)
(verse 2)
(chorus)
get back you're never gonna leave him
get back you're always gonna please him

Kinderfeld4:51

he lives inside my mouth
and tells me what to say
when he turns the trains
on he makes it go away
the hands are cracked and dirty and
the nails are beetle wings
when he turns the trains on he
unties all of the strings
The worm: "tell me something beautiful,
tell me something free,
tell me something beautiful
and i wish that i could be."
(then i got my wings and i never even knew it,
when i was a worm, thought i couldn't get through it)
Jack: (not spoken) come, come
the toys all smell like children
and scab-knees will obey
i'll have to kneel on broomsticks
just to make it go away
[the inauguration of the worm]
(then i got my wings and i never even knew it,
when i was a worm, thought i couldn't get through it)
voice we have not yet heard: "because today
is black/because there is no turning back.
because your lies have watered me/
i have become the strongest weed" weed…
through jack's eyes:
the taste of metal
disintegrator
three holes upon the leather belt
it's cut and swollen
and the age is swollen
boy: " there's no one here to save ourself."
the disintegrator: (to himself)
this is what you should fear
you are what you should fear

Antichrist Superstar5:14

You built me up with your wishing hell
I didn't have to sell you
You threw your money in the pissing well
You do just what they tell you
REPENT, that's what I'm talking about
I she'd the skin to feed the fake
REPENT, that's what I'm talking about
Whose mistake am I anyway?
Cut the head off
Grows back hard
I am the hydra
Now you'll see your star
Prick your finger it is done
The moon has now eclipsed the sun
The angel has spread it's wings
The time has come for bitter things

[Chorus]

The time has come it is quite clear
Our antichrist
Is almost here...
It is done

19964:01

Ligh a candle for the sinners,
set the world on fire...

Anti choice
anti girl
I am the anti-flag unfurled
anti white and anti man
I got the anti-future plan
anti fascist
anti mod
I am the anti-music god
anti sober
anti whore
there will never be enough of anti more
I can't believe in the things
that don't believe in me
now it's your turn to see misanthropy
anti people now you've gone too far
here's your antichrist superstar
anti money
anti hate
anti things I fucked and ate
anti cop
anti fun
here is my anti-president gun
anti Satan
anti black
anti world is on my back
anti gay and anti dope
I am the faggot anti-pope

anti peace
anti life
anti husband, anti wife
anti song and anti me
I don't deserve a chance to be

Minute Of Decay4:44

there's not much left to love
too tired today to hate
i feel the empty
i feel the minute of decay
i'm on my way down now, i'd like to take you with me
i'm on my way down
i'm on my way down now, i'd like to take you with me
i'm on my way down
the minute that it's born
it begins to die
i'd love to just give in,
i'd love to live this lie
i've been to black and back
i've whited out my name
a lack of pain, a lack of hope,
a lack of anything to say
there is no cure for what is killing me
i'm on my way down
i've looked ahead and saw a
world that's dead
I guess that i am too
(chorus)
i'm on my way down now, i'd like to take you with me…

The Reflecting God5:36

your world is an ashtray
we burn and coil like cigarettes
the more you cry your ashes turn to mud
it's the nature of the leeches, the virgin's
feeling cheated
you've only spent a second of your life
my world is unaffected, there is an exit here
i say it is and then it's true,
there is a dream inside a dream,
i'm wide awake the more i sleep
you'll understand when i'm dead
i went to god just to see, and i was looking at me
saw heaven and hell were lies
when i'm god everyone dies
scar/can you feel my power?
shoot here and the world gets smaller
scar/scar/can you feel my power?
one shot and the world gets smaller
let's jump upon the sharp swords
and cut away our smiles
without the threat of death
there's no reason to live at all
my world is unaffected, there is an exit here
i say it is and then it's true,
there is a dream inside a dream,
i'm wide awake the more i sleep
you'll understand when i'm dead

(bridge)

(chorus)

"each thing i show you is a piece of my death"
shoot shoot shoot motherfucker
no salvation, no forgiveness
"this is beyond your experience"
forgiveness…

Man That You Fear6:10

the ants are in the sugar
the muscles atrophied
we're on the other side, the screen is us and we're t.v.
spread me open,
sticking to my pointy ribs
are all your infants in abortion cribs
i was born into this
everything turns to shit
the boy that you loved is the man that you fear
pray until you're number,
asleep from all your pain,
your apple has been rotting
tomorrow's turned up dead
i have it all and i have no choice but to
i'll make everyone pay and you will see
you can kill yourself now
because you're dead
in my mind
the boy that you loved is the monster you fear
peel off all those eyes and crawl into the dark,
you've poisoned all of your children to camouflage your scars
pray unto the splinters, pray unto your fear
pray your life was just a dream
the cut that never heals
pray now baby, pray your life was just a dream
(i am so tangled in my sins that i cannot escape)
pinch the head off, collapse me like a weed
someone had to go this far
i was born into this
everything turns to shit
the boy that you loved is the man that you fear
peel off all those eyes and crawl into the dark,
you've poisoned all of your children to camouflage your scars
pray unto the splinters, pray unto your fear
pray your life was just a dream
the cut that never heals
pray now baby, pray your life was just a dream
the world in my hands, there's no one left to hear you scream
there's no one left for you

Track 991:39

go ahead and build a better messiah,
we can dig another grave.
this is your calling
if you are hearing this, there is nothing i can do
something has grown in my chest.
i have seen it.
it is hard and cold.
it has been dormant for many years.
i have tried to save you, but I cannot come to save you
this is what you deserve,
this is what we deserve
this is something we have brought upon ourselves.
we are not a victim, you are not a victim
we are not a victim, you are not a victim
god will grovel before me
god will crawl at my feet.
these are the dying years
these are the dying years
when you are suffering, know that i have betrayed you…

 
Marilyn Manson | Mechanical Animals Lyrics Sep 15, 1998 Nothing / Interscope

Great Big White World5:01

In space the stars are no nearer
They just glitter like a morgue
And I dreamed I was a spaceman
Burned like a moth in a flame
And our world was so fucking gone
But I'm not attached to your world
Nothing heals and nothing grows
Because it's a great big white world
And we are drained of our colors
We used to love ourselves,
We used to love one another
All my stitches itch
My prescription's low, I wish you
Were Queen
Just for today
In a world so white what else could I say?

And Hell was so cold
All the vases are so broken
And the roses tear our hands all open
Mother Mary miscarry
But we pray just like insects
The world is so ugly now
Because it's a great big white world
And we are drained of our colors
We used to love ourselves,
We used to love one another
All my stitches itch
My prescription's low, I wish you
Were Queen
Just for today
In a world so white what else could I say?

The Dope Show3:46

The drugs they say
Make us feel so hollow
We love in vain
Narcissistic and so shallow
The cops and queers
To swim you have to swallow
Hate today
There's no love for tomorrow
We're all stars now in the dope show
There's lots of pretty, pretty ones
That want to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low
And blow your mind
We're all stars now in the dope show
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not then they love another
The drugs they say
Are made in California
We love your face
We'd really like to sell you
The cops and queers
Make good-looking models
I hate today
Who will I wake up with tomorrow?
There's lots of pretty, pretty ones
That want to get you high
But all the pretty, pretty ones
Will leave you low
And blow your mind
They love you when you're on all the covers
When you're not then they love another
We're all stars now in the dope show

Mechanical Animals4:33

We were neurophobic
And perfect
The day that we lost our souls
Maybe we weren't so human
If we cry we will rust
And I was a hand grenade
That never stopped exploding
You were automatic and
As hollow as the "o" in god
I am never gonna be the one for you
I am never gonna save the world from you
But they'll never be good to you
Or bad to you
They'll never be anything
Anything at all
You were my mechanical bride
You were phenobarbidoll
A manniqueen of depression
With the face of a dead star
And I was a hand grenade
That never stopped exploding
You were automatic and
As hollow as the "o" in god
I am never gonna be the one for you
I am never gonna save the world from you
But they'll never be good to you
Or bad to you
They'll never be anything
Anything at all
This isn't me I'm not mechanical
I'm just a boy
Playing the suicide king

Rock Is Dead3:09

All simple monkeys with alien babies
Amphetamines for boys
Crucifixes for ladies
Sampled and soulless
Worldwide and real webbed
You sell all the living
For more safer dead
Anything to belong
Rock is deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope is all that we're fed
So fuck all your protests and
Put them to bed
God is the tv
1,000 mothers are praying for it
We're so full of hope
And so full of shit
Build a new god
To medicate and to ape
Sell us ersatz
Dressed up and real fake
Anything to belong
Rock is deader than dead
Shock is all in your head
Your sex and your dope is all that we're fed
So fuck all your protests and
Put them to bed
God is the tv

Disassociative4:50

06.10

I can tell you what they say in space
That our earth is too grey
But when the spirit is so digital
The body acts this way
That world was killing me
That world was killing me
Disassociative
The nervous systems down,
The nervous systems down
I know

I can never get out of here
I don't want to just float in fear
A dead astronaut in space
Sometimes we walk like
We were shot through
Our heads, my love
We write our song in space
Like we are already
Dead and gone
Your world was killing me
Your world was killing me
Disassociative
Your world was killing me
Your world was killing me
Disassociative
I can never get out of here
I don't want to just float in fear
A dead astronaut in space
The nervous systems down,
The nervous systems down,
I know

The Speed Of Pain5:30

They slit our throats
Like we were flowers
And our milk has been
Devoured
When you want it
It goes away too fast
When you hate it
It always seems to last
But just remember when you think
You're free
The crack inside your fucking heart is me
(thought, not spoken):
I wanna outrace the speed of pain for another day
I wish I could sleep
But I can't lay on my back
Because there's a knife
For everyday that I've known you
When you want it
It goes away too fast
Times you hate it
It always seems to last
Just remember when you think
You're free
The crack inside your fucking heart is me
(thought, not spoken):
I wanna outrace the speed of pain for another day

Lie to me, cry to me, give to me
I would
Lie with me, die with me, give to me
I would
Keep all your secrets wrapped in dead hair
I hope at least we die holding hands
for always

Posthuman4:17

She's got eyes like Zapruder
And a mouth like heroin
She wants me to be
Perfect like Kennedy
This isn't god, this isn't god
God is just a statistic,
God is just a statistic
Say,
"Show me the dead stars,
All of them sing"
This is a riot
Religious and clean
God is a number you cannot count to
You are posthuman and hardwired
She's pilgrim and pagan
Softworn and so-cial
In all of her dreams
She's a saint like Jackie-O
This isn't god, this isn't god
God is just a statistic,
God is just a statistic
Say,
"Show me the dead stars,
All of them sing"
This is a riot
Religious and clean
(Coma White):
"All that glitters is cold, all that glitters is cold"

I Want To Disappear2:56

Look at me now
Got no religion
Look at me now
I'm so vacant
Look at me now
I was a virgin
Look at me now
Grew up to be a whore
And I want it
I believe it
I'm a million different things
And not one you know
Hey, and our mommies are lost now
Hey, daddy's someone else
Hey,  we love the abuse
Because it makes us feel like we are needed now
But I know
I wanna disappear
I wanna die young
And sell my soul
Use up all your drugs
And make me come
Yesterday man,
I was a nihilist and
Now today I'm
Just too fucking bored
By the time I'm old enough
I won't know anything at all
Hey, and our mommies are lost now
Hey, daddy's someone else
Hey, we love the abuse
Because it makes us feel like we are needed now
But I know
I wanna disappear

I Don't Like The Drugs (But The Drugs Like Me)5:03

Norm life baby:
"We're white and oh so hetero and
Our sex is missionary."
Norm life baby:
"We're quitters and we're sober
Our confessions will be televised."
You and I are underdosed and we're ready to fall
Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all.
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs
Norm life baby:
"Our God is white and unforgiving
We're piss tested and we're praying. "
Norm life baby:
I'm just a sample of a soul
Made to look just like a human being.
Norm life baby:
"We're rehabbed and we're ready
For our 15 minutes of shame."
Norm life baby:
"We're talkshown and we're pointing
Just like Christians at a suicide."
You and I are underdosed and we're ready to fall
Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all.
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs
"There's a hole in our soul that we fill with dope
And we're feeling fine."
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs

New Model No. 153:40

I'm as fake as a wedding cake
And I'm vague and I know that I'm
Homopolitan
Pitifully predictable
Correctly political
I'm the new, I'm the new, new model
I've got nothing inside
Better in the head and in bed
At the office
I can suck and I smile
New
New
New model
I can choke and diet on coke
I'm spun and I know
That I'm stoned and rolling
Lifelike and poseable
Hopeless and disposable
I'm the new, I'm the new, new model
I've got nothing inside
Better in the head and in bed
At the office
I can suck and I smile
New
New
New model
Don't let them know how far you go
Or that you use your "lovers"
Oh look, you're like a VCR
Stick something in to know
Just who you are you
New
New
New model

User Friendly4:17

Use me when you want to come
I've bled just to have your touch
When I'm in you I want to die
User friendly fucking dopestar obscene
Will you die when you're high
You'd never die just for me
She says,
"I'm not in love, but I'm gonna fuck you
'til somebody better comes along. "
Use me like I was a whore
Relationships are such a bore
Delete the ones that you've fucked
User friendly fucking dopestar obscene
Will you die when you're high
You'd never die just for me
She says,
"I'm not in love, but I'm gonna fuck you
'til somebody better comes along."

Fundamentally Loathesome4:49

I want to wake up in your
White, white sun
I want to wake up in your world
With no pain
But I'll just suffer in a hope to die someday
While you are numb all of the way
When you hate it you know you can feel but
When you love it you know it's not real
No
And I am resigned to this wicked fucking world
On its way to Hell
The living are dead and
I hope to join them too
I know what to do and I do it well…
When you hate it you know you can feel but
When you love it you know it's not real
No
Shoot myself to love you
If I loved myself I'd be shooting you

The Last Day On Earth5:01

Yesterday was a million years ago
In all my past lives I played an asshole
Now I found you, it's almost too late
And this earth seems obliviating
We are trembling in our crutches
High and dead our skin is glass
I'm so empty here without you
I crack and split my xerox hands
I know it's the last day on earth
We'll be together while the planet dies
I know it's the last day on earth
We'll never say goodbye
And the dogs slaughter each other softly
Love burns its casualties
We are damaged provider modules
Spill the seeds at our children's feet
I'm so empty here without you
I know they want me dead
I know it's the last day on earth
We'll be together while the planet dies
I know it's the last day on earth
We'll never say goodbye

Coma White5:38

There's something cold and blank behind her smile
She's standing on an overpass
In her miracle mile
(coma):
"You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today
Today to run away"
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
Her mouth was an empty cut
And she was waiting to fall
Just bleeding like a Polaroid that
Lost all her dolls
(coma):
"You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today
Today to run away"
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself

Untitled / 151:21

In the end I became them and I led them
After all none of us really qualified as humans
We were hardworn automatic and as hollow as the ‘o' in God
I reattached my emotions cellular and narcotic
From the top of Hollywood it looked like space
Millions of capsules and mechanical animals
A city filled with dead stars and a girl I called Coma White

This is my OMEGA.

 
Marilyn Manson | Holy Wood (In The Shadow Of The Valley Of Death) Lyrics Nov 14, 2000 Nothing / Interscope

Godeatgod2:34

Dear god do you want to tear your knuckles down
and hold yourself

Dear god do you want to climb off that tree
meat in the shape of a ‘T'

Dear god the paper says you were the King
in the black limousine

Dear John and all the King's men
can't put your head together again

Before the bullets
before the flies
before authorities take out my eyes
the only smiling are you dolls that I made
but you are plastic and so are your brains

Dear god the sky is as blue
as a gunshot wound

Dear god if you were alive
you know we'd kill you

Before the bullets
before the flies
before authorities take out my eyes
the only smiling are you dolls that I made
but you are plastic and so are your brains

The Love Song3:16

The bullet:
"I've got a crush on a pretty pistol
should I tell her that I feel this way?
Father told us to be faithful
I've got a crush on a pretty pistol
should I tell her that I feel this way
I've got love songs in my head
that are killing us away"

The Father:
"do you love your
guns?" (yeah)
"god?"
(yeah)
"the government?"

"do you love your
guns?"
(yeah)
"god?"
(yeah)
"the government?"
(fuck yeah)

The bullet:
"She tells me I'm a pretty bullet
I'm gonna be a star someday
Mother says that we should look away
She tells me I'm a pretty bullet
an Imitation Christ
I've got love songs in my head
that are killing us away"

The Father:
"do you love your
guns?"
(yeah)
"god?"
(yeah)
"your government?"
(fuck yeah)

The Fight Song2:55

Nothing suffocates you more than
the passing of everyday human events
Isolation is the oxygen mask you make
your children breathe in to survive

But I'm not a slave to a god
that doesn't exist
I'm not a slave to a world
that doesn't give a shit

And when we were good
you just closed you eyes
So when we are bad
we'll scar your minds

fight, fight, fight, fight

You'll never grow up to be a big-
rock-star-celebrated-victim-of-your-fame
They'll just cut our wrists like
cheap coupons and say that death
was on sale today

And when we were good
you just closed you eyes
So when we are bad
we're scar your minds

But I'm not a slave to a god
that doesn't exist
I'm not a slave to a world
that doesn't give a shit

the death of one is a tragedy
but death of millions is just a statistic

(CHORUS)

fight, fight, fight, fight

Disposable Teens3:01

and I'm a black rainbow
and I'm an ape of god
I've got a face that's made for violence upon
and I'm a teen distortion
survived abortion
a rebel from the waist down

I wanna thank you mom
I wanna thank you dad
for bringing this fucking world
to a bitter end
I never really hated the one true god
but the god of the people I hated

you said you wanted evolution
the ape was a great big hit
you say you want a revolution, man
and I say that you're full of shit

we're disposable teens
we're disposable teens
we're disposable teens
we're disposable

you said you wanted evolution
the ape was a great big hit
you say you want a revolution, man
and I say that you're full of shit

The more that you fear us
the bigger we get
the more that you fear us
the bigger we get
and don't be surprised, don't be surprised
don't be surprised when we destroy all of it

(CHORUS)
we're disposable teens
we're disposable teens
we're disposable

Target Audience (Narcissus Narcosis)4:18

Am I sorry your sky went black,
put your knives in babies backs?
Am I sorry you killed the Kennedy's and Huxley too?

But I'm sorry Shakespeare
was your scapegoat
and your apple's sticking into my throat
Sorry your Sunday smiles are rusty nails
and your crucifixion commercials failed
but I'm just a pitiful anonymous

And I see all the young believers
Your target audience
I see all the old deceivers
and we all just sing their song

Am I sorry just to be alive
putting my face in the beehive?
Am I sorry for Booth and Oswald, pinks and cocaine too?

I'm sorry you never check
the bag in my head for a bomb
and my halo was a needle hole
Sorry I saw a priest being beaten
and I made a wish
but I'm just a pitiful anonymous

And I see all the young believers
Your target audience
I see all the old deceivers
and we all just sing their song
and we all just sing their song

"the valley of death we are free
your father's your prison you see"

And I see all the young believers
Your target audience
I see all the old deceivers
and we all just sing their song

you're just a copy of an imitation

"President Dead"3:13

this is for the people, they want you
this is for the people, they want you
getting high on violence, baby

President Dead is clueless
and he's caught in a headlight, police-state god
and his skull is stained glass

incubated and jet set
the bitter thinkers buy their tickets
to go find god like a piggy in a fair

and we don't want to live forever
and we know that suffering is so much better

this is for the people, they want you
this is for the people, they want you
getting high on violence, baby

give the pills time to work
we all can't be martyred in the
winter of our discontent

(getting high on violence, baby)

every night we are nailed into place and
every night we just can't seem to
ever remember the reason why

(getting high on violence, baby)

and we don't want to live forever
and we know that suffering is so much better

this is for the people, they want to
this is for the people, they want to
getting high on violence, baby

and we don't want to live forever
and we know that suffering is so much better

In The Shadow Of The Valley Of Death4:09

We have no future
heaven wasn't made for me
we burn ourselves to hell
as fast as it can be
and I wish that I could be the king
then I'd know that I am not alone

Maggots put on shirts
Sell each other shit
sometimes I feel so worthless
sometimes I feel discarded
I wish that I was good enough
then I'd know that I am not alone

Death is policeman
Death is the priest
Death is the stereo
Death is a TV
Death is the Tarot
Death is an angel and
Death is our God
killing us all

she put the seeds in me
plant this dying tree
she's a burning string
and I'm just the ashes

she put the seeds in me
plant this dying tree
she's a burning string
and I'm just the ashes

Cruci-Fiction In Space4:56

this is evolution
the monkey
the man
and then the gun
if Christ was in Texas
the hammer
the sickle
the only son
this is your creation
the atom of Eden
was a bomb
if Jack was the Baptist
we'd drink wine
from the head

this is evolution
the monkey
the man
and then the gun

I am a revolution
pull my knuckles down
if I could
I am a revelation
and I'm nailed
to the Holy Wood

this is evolution
the monkey
the man
and then the gun

we are dead and tomorrow's canceled
because of things we did yesterday
we are dead and tomorrow's canceled
they crucify us in our space
in our space
in our space…

this is evolution
the monkey
the man
and then the gun
…flies are waiting

A Place In The Dirt3:37

We are damned and we are dead
all god's children to be sent
to our perfect place in the sun
and in the dirt

There's a windshield in my heart
we are bugs so smeared and scarred
and could you stop the meat from thinking
before I swallow all of it,
could you please?

Put me in the motorcade
put me in the death parade
dress me up and make me
dress me up and make me
your dying god

angels with needles
poked through our eyes
let the ugly light
of the world in
and we were no longer blind
and we were no longer blind

Put me in the motorcade
put me in the death parade
dress me up and make me
dress me up and make me
your dying god

Now we hold the "ugly head"
the Mary-whore is at the bed
They've cast the shadow of our perfect death
in the sun and in the dirt.

The Nobodies3:35

Today I am dirty
and I want to be pretty
Tomorrow, I know that I'm just dirt

We are the nobodies
we wanna be somebodies
when we're dead,
they'll know just who we are

Yesterday I was dirty
wanted to be pretty
I know now that I'm forever dirt

We are the nobodies
we wanna be somebodies
when we're dead,
they'll know just who we are

Some children died the other day
we fed machines and then we prayed
puked up and down in morbid faith
you should have seen the ratings that day

The Death Song3:30

we're on a bullet
and we're headed straight into god
even he'd like to end it too
we take a pill, get a face
buy our ticket
and we hope that heaven's true
I saw a cop beat a priest on the TV
and they know they killed our heroes too

We sing the death song kids
because we've got no future
and we want to be just like you
and we want to be just like you

Let's sing the death song kids

we light a candle on an earth
we made into hell
and pretend that we're in heaven
each time we do we get
the blind man's ticket
and we know that nothing's true
I saw priest kill a cop on the TV
and I know now they're our heroes too

We sing the death song kids
because we've got no future
and we want to be just like you
and we want to be just like you
Let's sing the death song kids

we write our prayers on a little bomb
kiss it on the face and send it to god

(CHORUS)

We were the world
but we've got no future
and we want to be just like you
we want to be just like you.

The Lamb Of God5:39

There was Christ in the metal shell
there was blood on the pavement
The camera will make you god
that's how Jack became sainted

If you die when there's no one watching
and your ratings drop and you're forgotten
but if they kill you on their TV
you're a martyr and a lamb of god
nothing's going to change
nothing's going to change the world

There was Lennon in the happy gun
There were words on the pavement
we were looking for the lamb of god
we were looking for Mark David

If you die when there's no one watching
then your ratings drop and you're forgotten
but if they kill you on their TV
you're a martyr and a lamb of god

Nothing's going to change the world
nothing's going to change
Nothing's going to change the world
nothing's going to change
the world

it took three days for him to die
so the born again could buy the serial rights
lamb of god have mercy on us
lamb of god won't you grant us

Nothing's going to change the world
nothing's going to change
Nothing's going to change the world
nothing's going to change
the world

If you die when there's no one watching
then your ratings drop and you're forgotten
but if they kill you on their TV
you're a martyr and a lamb of god
nothing's going to change the world

Born Again3:20

Recorded Live February 14, 1997

Do you or don't you want this to be your song?
It doesn't take a rebel to sing along.
This art is weak
in its pretty, pretty frame
and I am a monkey with
a misspelled name
"I'll put down your disco
and take your heart away.
I'll put down your disco
and take your heart away"
I'll be born again

I'm someone else
I'm someone new
I'm someone stupid just like you
I'm someone else
I'm someone new
I'm someone stupid just like you

do you or don't you want to take this hit?
Does it make you feel like you're a part of "it."
"I'll put down your disco
and take your heart away.
I'll put down your disco
and take your heart away"
I'll be born again

I'm someone else
I'm someone new
I'm someone stupid just like you
I'm someone else
I'm someone new
I'm someone stupid just like you

the valley of the dolls is
the valley of the dead
the valley of the dolls is
the valley of the dead

I'll be born again…

Burning Flag3:21

They want to sell it out
but it up
and dumb it down
a good god is hard to find
I'll join the crowd that
wants to see me dead
right now I feel I belong
for the first time

multiply your death
divide by sex
add up the violence and
what do you get?
We are all just stars and we're waiting
we are all just scarred and we're hating
we are all just stars on your burning flag

you can point your gun at me
and hope it will go away
if god was alive,
he would hate you anyway

my right wing is flapping
the left wing is gray
let's hear it for the kids but
nothing they say
they gyrate and G-rate
on Election Day
we got out ABC's and our F U C K

multiply your death
divide by sex
add up the violence and
what do you get?
We are all just stars and we're waiting
we are all just scarred and we're hating
we are all just stars on your burning flag

you can point your gun at me
and hope it will go away
but if god was alive,
he would hate you anyway

Coma Black: a) Eden Eye, b) The Apple of Discord5:58

a) EDEN EYE
My mouth was a crib and it was growing lies
I didn't know what love was on that day
my heart's a tiny blood-clot
I picked at it
it never heals it never goes away

I burned all the good things in The Eden Eye
we were too dumb to run too dead to die
I burned all the good things in The Eden Eye
we were too dumb to run too dead to die

This was never my world
you took the angel away
I'd kill myself to make everybody pay
This was never my world
you took the angel away
I'd kill myself to make everybody pay

I would have told her then
she was the only thing
I could love in this dying world
but the simple word "love" itself
already died and went away

This was never my world
you took the angel away
I'd kill myself to make everybody pay
This was never my world
you took the angel away
I'd kill myself to make everybody pay

I burned all the good things in The Eden Eye
we were too dumb to run too dead to die

b) APPLE OF DISCORD
Her heart's bloodstained egg
we didn't handle with care
it's broken and bleeding
and we can never repair

Valentine's Day3:31

She was the color of TV
her mouth curled under like a metal snake
although Holy Wood was sad
they'd remember this as Valentine's day

flies are waiting

In the Shadow of the Valley of Death
In the Shadow of the Valley of Death

they slit our wrists and send us to heaven
the first flower after the flood

I saw that pregnant girl today
she didn't know that it was dead inside
even though it was alive
some of us are really born to die

flies are waiting

In the Shadow of the Valley of Death
In the Shadow of the Valley of Death

they slit our wrists and send us to heaven
the first flower after the flood

In the Shadow of the Valley of Death
In the Shadow of the Valley of Death

The Fall Of Adam2:34

The Abraham Lincoln town cars
arrive to dispose of our king and queen
and they orchestrated dramatic new scenes
for Celebritarian™ needs

When one world ends
something else begins
but without a scream
just a whisper because we
just start it over again…
(Do you love your guns?
Your god and your government? Let me hear you
Hey
Do you love your guns?
Do you love your god and your government?
Let me hear you goddamn it
Hey
Do you love your guns?
And your god and your government? let me hear you
Hey
Your Mother? And your Father? And your baby?
Goddamn it let me hear you
Hey
Do you love your guns?
I want your mothers and your fathers to hear you say it
Hey
…every single one of you motherfuckers let me hear it from you
Hey
Do you love your guns?
And your god and your government?
Hey
I wanna hear it from everyone
I wanna hear you say you want a gun, let me hear it)

King Kill 33°2:18

Is this what you wanted?
This is what you get.
Turned all your lives into this shit.
You never accepted or treated me fair
blame me for what I believe
and I wear.
You fucked yourselves and you
raised these sheep
the blue and the withered seeds
you will reap.
You never gave me a chance to be me
or even a fucking chance just to be.
But I have to show you that
you played a role
and I will destroy you with one simple hole.
The world that hates me has taken its toll
but now I have finally taken control.
You wanted so bad to make me this thing
and I want you now to just kill the king

and I am not sorry, and I am not sorry
this is what you deserve
and I am not sorry, and I am not sorry
this is what you deserve
King Kill 33, King Kill 33

Count to Six and Die (The Vacuum of Infinite Space Encompassing)3:24

She's got her eyes open wide
she's got the dirt and spit of the world
she's got her mouth on the metal
the lips of a scared little girl

I've got an angel in the lobby
he's waiting to put me in line
but I won't ask forgiveness
for my faith has gone dry

She's got her Christian prescriptures
and death has crawled in her ear
like elevator music of songs
that she shouldn't hear

1…2…3  it spins around
4…5…6  we all lay down
some do it fast
some do it better in smaller amounts

Use Your Fist And Not Your Mouth3:34

I am overground and
Out-selling IT.
Since God thinks I don't exist
The Beatings happen Per Minute
This is not Blue-collar-white-corrective politics
I'm on a HATE AMERICAN STYLE Kick.
This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(come on, come on)
This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(come on, come on)
I'm on a campaign for pain
And when I get elected
I'll wipe the white off your house
The smile off your face
This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(come on, come on)
This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(come on, come on)
I woke up today and wished for tomorrow
I don't want to be like anyone else
I woke up today and wished for tomorrow
I don't want to even be myself
I said, no, this isn't your song
We can't all get along
It's too hard to hold hands when
Your hand's a fist
My hate-pop won't ever stop
I'm fucking glad we're different
This is my HATE AMERICAN STYLE
Hit.
Don't bring, don't sing it
Use your fist and not your mouth.
This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(come on, come on)
This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(come on, come on)
I woke up today and wished for tomorrow
I don't want to be like anyone else
I woke up today and wished for tomorrow
I don't want to even be myself

(s)AINT3:42

I don't care if your world is ending today
I wasn't invited to it anyway
You said I tasted famous, so I drew you a heart
But now I'm not an artist I'm a fucking work of art
I've got an F and a C and I got a K too
And the only thing missing is a bitch like yoU
You wanted perfekt
You got your perfekt
But now I'm too perfekt for someone like you
I was a dandy in your ghetto with
A snow white smile and you'll
Never be as perfekt whatever you do
What's my name, what's my name?
Hold the S because I am an AINT
What's my name, what's my name?
Hold the S because I am an AINT
I am a bonetop, a death's head
On a mopstick
You infected me, took diamonds
I took all your shit
Your "sell-by date" expired,
So you had to be sold
I'm a suffer-genius and
Vivi-sex symbol.
You wanted perfekt
You got your perfekt
But now I'm too perfekt for someone like you
I was a dandy in your ghetto with
A snow white smile and you'll
Never be as perfekt whatever you do
What's my name, what's my name?
Hold the S because I am an AINT
What's my name, what's my name?
Hold the S because I am an AINT
I've got an F and a C and I got a K too
And the only thing missing is a bitch like yoU
I've got an F and a C and I got a K too
And the only thing missing is a bitch like yoU
I am a dandy in the ghetto with a snow white smile
Super-ego bitch, I've been evil awhile
I am a dandy in the ghetto with a snow white smile
Super-ego bitch, I've been evil awhile
What's my name, what's my name?
Hold the S because I am an AINT
What's my name, what's my name?
Hold the S because I am an AINT

Ka-Boom Ka-Boom4:02

We're a death-marching band
Peter Pan off the wagon
Entertain but never trust anyone sober
We're tasteless but taste good
My (S)top Hat's top hat(ed)
Unsafe cheerleaders with
Porn poms and pipe bombs
I won't do it with you
I'll do it to you
I hope this hook gets caught in your mouth
I won't do it with you
I'll do it to you
Don't Say No
Just Say Now
I like a big car, cause
I'm a big star
I make a big rock and roll hits
I'd like to love you
but my heart is a sore
I am, I am, I am so yours
Ka-boom, ka-boom
Ka-boom, ka-boom
Ka-boom, ka-boom
I'd like to la la la la love you
Ka-boom, ka-boom
Ka-boom, ka-boom
Ka-boom, ka-boom
I'd like to la la la la love you
I'm the leader of the club
And I've shrugged off my mouse ears
We fly No-Class Dumbo jets
And drive harcore-vettes
We fight war with drugs
And our sex always formal
We wear lawsuits when
We get high high high

I won't do it with you
I'll do it to you
I hope this hook gets caught in your mouth
I won't do it with you
I'll do it to you
Don't Say No
Just Say Now
I like a big car, cause
I'm a big star
I make a big rock and roll hits
I'd like to love you

I'd like to la la la la love you
"Inhale, exhale, let's all hail"
It's a depraved new world
"Inhale, exhale, let's all hail"
It's a depraved new world
After all
I like a big car, cause
I'm a big star
I make a big rock and roll hits
I'd like to love you
but my heart is a sore
I am, I am, I am so yours
I am a big car and
I'm a strip bar
You call it fake,
I call it, "good as it gets."
Nothing in this world is for real
Except you are for me and
I am so yours
Ka-boom ka-boom

Slutgarden4:06

I'll pretend that I want you for what is on the inside
But when I get inside I'll just want to get out
I'm your first and last deposit through sickness and in hell
I'll never you promise you a garden, you'll just water me down
I can't believe that you are for real
I don't care as long as you're mine

When I said we
you know I meant me and
When I said sweet
I meant dirty (hey, hey)
When I said we
you know I meant me and
When I said sweet
I meant dirty (hey, hey)

I'm unsafe, unsafe
I won't repent and so
I memorize the words to the porno movies
It's the only thing I want to believe
I memorize the words to the porno movies
This is a new religion to me

I'm a VCR funeral of
Dead memory waste and
My smile is a chainlink fence
that I have put up
Love the enemy, my love is the enemy
They say they don't want fame
But they get famous
When we fuck

When I said we
you know I meant me and
When I said sweet
I meant dirty (hey, hey)
When I said we
you know I meant me and
When I said sweet
I meant dirty (hey, hey)

I'm unsafe, unsafe
I won't repent and so
I memorize the words to the porno movies
It's the only thing I want to believe
I memorize the words to the porno movies
This is a new religion to me

I never believed the devil was real
But god couldn't make someone filthy as you

When I said we
you know I meant me and
When I said sweet
I meant dirty (hey, hey)
When I said we
you know I meant me and
When I said sweet
I meant dirty (hey, hey)
When I said we
you know I meant me and
When I said sweet
I meant dirty (hey, hey)
When I said we
you know I meant me and
When I said sweet
I meant dirty (hey, hey)
You are the church
I am the steeple
When we fuck
We're all god's people
You are the church
I am the steeple
When we fuck
We're all god's people

Spade4:34

The beauty spot was borrowed and
Now my sweet knife rusts tomorrow .
I'm a confession that is waiting to be heard.

Burn your empty rain down on me
Whisper your deathbeat so softly
We bend our knees
At the altar of my ego

You drained my heart
And made a spade
But there's still traces of me
in your veins
You drained my heart
And made a spade
But there's still traces of me
in your veins

All my lilies' mouths are open
Like they're begging for dope
And hoping
Their bitter petal chant,
"We can kick , you won't be back."

I'm a diamond that is tired
Of all the faces I've acquired
We must secure the shadow
Ere the substance fades

You drained my heart
And made a spade
But there's still traces of me
in your veins
You drained my heart
And made a spade
But there's still traces of me
in your veins
And we said 'til we die
And we said 'til we die

Para-noir6:01

(THE WOMEN OF THE WORLD LIST THEIR REASONS FOR FUCKING ME)
MY RESPONSE IS AS FOLLOWS:
Fuck you because I loved you
Fuck you for loving you too
I don't need a reason to hate you the way I do
HATE  YOU THE WAY I DO.

The Bright Young Things4:19

We'll be the worms in your apple pie
Fake abuse for our bios
Blacken our own eyes
The grass isn't greener on the other side
We set it on fire
And we have no reason why.
Set fashion, not follow
Spit vitriol, not swallow
We set fashion, not follow
Spit vitriol, not swallow
We're
Good for nothing but being
Everything that's bad
Good for nothing but being
Everything that's bad
We know who we are and what we want to say
And we don't care who's listening
We don't rebel to sell
It just suits us well
We're the bright young things
I've got my villain necktie
And a mouth of hi-fi
So sharp, I'm bleeding
from my Judas Hole
I'm the Arch Dandy
No-goodnik and I'm headed
For Crashville.
I'm most monster with my groan box
In the "Meat Show."
We set fashion, not follow
Spit vitriol, not swallow
Good for nothing but being
Everything that's bad
Good for nothing but being
Everything that's bad
We know who we are and what we want to say
And we don't care who's listening
We don't rebel to sell
It just suits us well
We're the bright young things
Crashing the ether
We've got the loudest stereotype
Even neophytes deep 6 your pro-life.
We don't need to move a single prayer bone
We're so beautiful and damned
Simply as a "still life."

Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no cause
Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no cause
Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no cause
Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no cause

Stop the song and remember what you used to be
Somebody that could fucking impress me

We know who we are and what we want to say
And we don't care who's listening
We don't rebel to sell
It just suits us well
We're the bright young things

We know who we are and what we want to say
And we don't care who's listening
We don't rebel to sell
It just suits us well
We're the bright young things
Good for nothing but being
Everything that's bad
Good for nothing but being
Everything that's bad

Vodevil4:39

I wake up everyday on
The wrong side of the bed
But I won't lay down on the floor

Call me a failure
Pretender, sex-offender, infector
Say I killed all my friends
And I deserve to be dead.

No concept of pain, right to complain
All you fagazines, senile teens
Jaw me black ball me
Deejay yourself away and turn your back
It will be easier to stab
Kiss baby kiss

This isn't music and we're not a band
We're 5 middle fingers on a motherfucking hand
This isn't music and we're not a band
We're 5 middle fingers on a motherfucking hand

Obsequey (The Death of Art)1:35

Left Channel:
This is the Golden Age of Grotesque,
Be prepared for what you may find.
The hole we have to fuck her.
They taste tension because it is their life.
Chrome Complimental.
Stop Looking for Ourselves.
Bored towards Most of It.
We have grown to complain.
The hole we Have to Fuck her.
I'm still captive, hide in the distortion.
Its a shame im still expected to waves.
Though We have no disgruntled.
We are lower girls.
Man girls good evening.
Nothing is More propaganda than the world.
Tired of them stabbing.
I am a reverof forever but still I am a door to all of the worst who are jittery.
Crazy people pretend me to not give a fuck.
And we are made of a dry contact, without the people we aren't alive.
We are cows scraping up our genitals, we saved our best milk.
Propaganda is not done.
Break Down Me.
Then the faces will evolve.
Lets just see the only child.
The bored are to be of devoured, but not you.
Right Channel:
Lets see what we will bring.
We will HIDE.
We have grown just to die.
Does it?
Their propaganda is not
Heavy.
I have grown bored with their best milk.
Evolve. Contact them.
Complimental.
Tell them to hide.
Bored out of this world.
No one will answer us.
Girls.
No one is more abnormal or unimportant than, like them.
I tried, i fucked them still.
No more establishing. Bored.
Don't accept them.
About.
Our life.
Chrome. Bite their bullet.
There is fresh something.
But all i'm trying to do.
Is about their lifestyle is fucked.
Without those people we grow disgruntled.
Propaganda has always worked.
They are very dull.
I expected their lives. Girls.
There has to be something…

 
Marilyn Manson | Eat Me, Drink Me Lyrics June 5, 2007 Interscope

If I Was Your Vampire5:56

6 a.m. Christmas morning
No shadows
No reflections here
Lying cheek to cheek
In your cold embrace

So soft and so tragic
As a slaughterhouse
You press the knife
Against your heart
And say,
"I love you, so much you must kill me now"

I love you
So much you must kill me now

If I was your vampire
Certain as the moon
Instead of killing time
We'll have each other
Until the sun
If I was your vampire
Death waits for no one
Hold my hands
Across your face
Because I think
Our time has come

Digging your smile apart
With my spade tongue
The hole is where the heart is
We built this tomb together
And I won't fill it alone

Beyond the pale
Everything is black
No turning back

If I was your vampire
Certain as the moon
Instead of killing time
We'll have each other
Until the sun
If I was your vampire
Death waits for no one
Hold my hands
Across your face
Because I think
Our time has come

Blood-stained sheets
In the shape of your heart
This is where it starts...
Blood-stained sheets
In the shape of your heart
This is where it starts
This is where it will end
Here comes the moon again

6:19 and I know I'm ready
Drive me off the mountain
You'll burn
I'll eat your ashes
The impossible we're seducing
Our corpse

If I was your vampire
Certain as the moon
Instead of killing time
We'll have each other
Until the sun
If I was your vampire
Death waits for no one
Hold my hands
Across your face
Because I think
Our time has come

Beyond the pale
Everything is black
No turning back
Beyond the pale
Everything is black
No turning back

This is where it starts
This is where it will end
Here comes the moon again

This is where it starts
This is where it will end
Here comes the moon again

Here comes the moon again

Here comes the moon again

Putting Holes In Happiness4:31

The sky was blonde like her
it was a day to take the child
out back and shoot it.
I could have buried all my dead
up in her cemetery head
she had dirty word witchcraft
I was in the deep end of her skin.
Then, it seemed like a one car wreck
but I knew it was a horrid tragedy.
Ways to make the tiny satisfaction disappear.

Blow out the candles
on all my Frankensteins.
At least my death wish will come true.
You taste like Valentine's and we cry,
you're like a birthday.
I should have picked the photograph
it lasted longer than you.

Putting holes in happiness.
We'll paint the future black
if it needs any color.
My death sentence is a story
who'll be digging when you finally let me die?
The romance of our assassination
If you're Bonnie, I'll be your Clyde.
But the grass is greener here and
I can see all of your snakes.
You wear your ruins well
please run away with me to hell.

Blow out the candles
on all my Frankensteins.
At least my death wish will come true.
You taste like Valentine's and we cry,
you're like a birthday.
I should have picked the photograph
it lasted longer than you.

The Red Carpet Grave4:05

They call her
bulldozer speech demon
without distractions of hope,
she makes the depression business
look surprisingly novel.
And she's not just royal,
allegedly loyal
Not unfaithful but she has no faith in me.
Inhale the damage smoothly
paradise isn't lost,
it was hiding all along.
There's the ones that you love,
the ones that love you,
the ones that make you come.
The ones that make you come unglued.
I can't turn my back on you
when you are walking away.
Bottomless celebrity scar
staged circuses for schoolgirls,
us boys are all dressed up like a
mediocre suicide omen.
Here comes the red carpet grave
again and again and again,
oh man.
There's the ones that you love,
the ones that love you,
the ones that make you come.
The ones that make you come unglued.
I can't turn my back on you,
when you are walking away.
I can't turn my back on you,
when you are walking away.
Can't turn my back on you,
when you are walking away,
when you are walking away.
There's the ones that you love,
the ones that love you,
the ones that make you come.
The ones that make you come unglued.
There's the ones that you love,
the ones that love you,
the ones that make you come.
The ones that make you come unglued.
It's easy to beat the system,
had a hard time beating the symptoms…
had a hard time beating the symptoms…
I can't turn my back on you,
can't turn my back on you,
I can't turn my back on you,
when you are walking away.
Here comes the red carpet grave
again and again and again.
Here comes the red carpet grave
again and again and again,
oh man.

They Said That Hell's Not Hot4:17

I kill myself in small amounts
in each relationship it's not
about love.
Just another funeral and
just another girl left in tears.
And I'm waiting
with the sound turned off
I'm waiting
like a glass balloon
and I'm fading
into the void and then
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone…
They said that hell's not hot
They said that hell's not hot
I gave my soul to someone else
she must have known that
it was already sold.
It was never about her,
it was about the hurt.
I'm waiting
like a glass balloon
and I'm fading
into the void and then
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone…
They said that hell's not hot
They said that hell's not hot
I kill myself in small amounts
in each relationship it's not
about love.
Just another funeral and
just another girl left in tears.
And I'm waiting
with the sound turned off
I'm waiting
like a glass balloon
and I'm fading
into the void and then
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone…
They said that hell's not hot
They said that hell's not hot

Just A Car Crash Away4:55

She blew me her death-kiss
and the mouth-marks
bled down my eye,
like her dying
on my windshield.
I can already feel
her worms
eating my spine.
So how can it be this lonely?
Is this all we get
for our lives?
Is love only sweeter when
one of dies?

Then I knew that our love was
just a car crash away.
I knew that our love was
just a car crash away.
I knew that our love was
just a car crash away.
I knew that our love was
just a car crash away.
Love is a fire.
Burns down all that it sees.
Burns down everything.
Everything you think
will burn
everything you say.

Love is a fire.
Burns down all that it sees.
Burns down everything.
Everything you think
will burn
everything you say.

I knew that our love was
just a car crash away.
Knew that our love was
just a car crash away.
Just a car crash away.

I knew that our love was
just a
car
crash
away.

I knew that our love was
just a
car
crash
away.

Love is a fire.
Burns down all that it sees.
Burns down everything.
Everything you think
will burn
everything you say.

Love is a fire.
Burns down all that it sees.
Burns down everything.
Everything you think
will burn
everything you say.

Heart Shaped Glasses (When The Heart Guides The Hand)5:05

She reminds me of
the one in school
when I was cutting
she was dressed in white
and I couldn't take my eyes off her
but that's not what I took off that night
And she'll never cover up
what we did
with a dress
no
she said
"kiss me, it will heal
but it won't forget.
kiss me, it will heal
but it won't forget."
And I don't mind you
keeping me
on pins and needles.
If I could stick to you
and you could
stick me too.
Don't break, don't break
my heart
and I won't break your
heart-shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl
you should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
making me low
That blue is getting me high
making me low
That blue is getting me high
making me low
She reminds of
the one I knew
that cut up the negatives
of my life
I couldn't take my hands off her
she wouldn't let me be
anywhere but inside
And I don't mind you
keeping me
on pins and needles.
If I could stick to you
and you could
stick me too.
Just
don't break, don't break
my heart
and I won't break your
heart-shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl
you should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
making me low
And she'll never cover up
what we did
with a dress
no
she said
"kiss me, it will heal
but it won't forget.
kiss me, it will heal
but it won't forget."
And I don't mind you
keeping me
on pins and needles.
If I could stick to you
and you could
stick me too.
Don't break, don't break
my heart
and I won't break your
heart-shaped glasses
Little girl, little girl
you should close your eyes
That blue is getting me high
making me low

Evidence5:19

you have eyes that
lead me on
and a body that
shows me death
your lips look like they were made
for something else but
they just suck my breath
I want your pain
to taste why you're ashamed
and I know you're not just what you say to me
and I'm not the only moment you're made of
You're so sudden and sweet
all legs, knuckle, knees
Head's blown clean off
your mouth's paid off
Fuck me 'til we know it's unsafe
and we'll paint
over the evidence
I want you wanting me
I want what I see in your eyes
so give me something to be scared of
don't give me something to satisfy
You're so sudden and sweet
all legs, knuckle, knees
Head's blown clean off
your mouth's paid off
Fuck me 'til we know it's unsafe
and we'll paint
over the evidence
I want your pain
to taste why you're ashamed
and I know you're not just what you say to me
and I'm not the only moment you're made of
You're so sudden and sweet
all legs, knuckle, knees
Head's blown clean off
your mouth's paid off
Fuck me 'til we know it's unsafe
and we'll paint
over the evidence
You're so sudden and sweet
all legs, knuckle, knees
Head's blown clean off
your mouth's paid off
Fuck me 'til we know it's unsafe
and we'll paint
over the evidence

Are You The Rabbit?4:14

I'm a kick stand in your mouth
and I'm the tongue slamming on the brakes
pull the choke in
pull the choke in
as hard as it will take.
All your pictures are getting dirty
I don't want anyone else's
hand on my gears.
And I'll choke on
all the diamonds,
like a vulture on your face

So ask your self before you get in,
I know the insurance won't cover this.
Are you the rabbit
or the headlight,
and is there
room in your life
for one more breakdown?

You can't escape,
can't escape
all your demons,
All your demons
"Watch out, watch out
for your lovers"

Faster, faster,
faster-faster-faster,
faster-faster-faster,
I'm late, I'm late,
And the hands on my clock
are starting to shake.
We're on the line between
the devil's tits,
and we've been driving on E.
I'm going to be wanted for this crime
"Well at least you're wanted,"
She'll say.

So ask your self before you get in,
I know the insurance won't cover this.
Are you the rabbit
or the headlight,
and is there
room in your life
for one more breakdown?

You are an unmarked car
I can't remember where I parked you
but I love you,
can't afford you,
I'll take a cab to the funeral.
Faster, faster,
faster-faster-faster,
faster-faster-faster,
I'm late, I'm late,
And the hands on my clock
are starting to shake.

You can't escape,
can't escape
all your demons.
All you demons,
"Watch out, watch out,
for your lovers."

So ask your self before you get in,
I know the insurance won't cover this.
Are you the rabbit
or the headlight,
and is there
room in your life
for one more breakdown?

Mutilation Is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery3:52

Hey
there's no rules today.
You steal instead of borrow.
You take all the shapes that I make.
And you think
that you thought
all the thoughts
that I thought you,
don't you?
Mutilation's the most
sincere form of flattery.
If you want to be me,
then stand in line like the rest.
Now, do you know what I mean?
The young get less bolder
The legends get older
But I stay the same
as long as you have less to say
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you.
Fuck you
fuck you
fuck you
and
fuck you too
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you.
Rebels without applause
I sell my shadow to those
who are standing in it
They think I would
bitch about them
thinking they are
the shit
when they can't
even step
in it
The young get less bolder
The legends get older
But I stay the same
as long as you have less to say
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you.
Fuck you
fuck you
fuck you
Fuck you
fuck you
fuck you
and
fuck you too
The young get less bolder
The legends get older
But I stay the same
as long as you have less to say
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you.
Fuck you
fuck you
fuck you
and
fuck you too
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you

You and Me and the Devil Makes 34:24

I'm just like rolling a stone up
a hill in Hades
if you want to lie with me
you're going to be a liar

Hell-flavored, I've got mood poisoning
you must be something that I hate
I'm just a prison of property
buckets full of better misery
there's not a word for what I want to do to you
there's not a word for what I want to do to you

You and me and the devil makes 3
you and me
you and me and the devil makes 3
you and me
you and me and the devil makes 3

EAT ME, DRINK ME3:13

In the wasteland
on the way to the Red Queen…
it's no wonder our stage clothes
have dreams to be famous.
The trees in the courtyard
are painted in blood,
so I've heard.
She hangs the headless
upside down to drain.

EAT ME, DRINK ME
EAT ME, DRINK ME
This is only a game,
this is only a game

I was invited to
a beheading today.
I thought I was a butterfly
next to your flame.
A rush of panic and
the lock has been raped.
This is only a game,
this is only a game…

But then our star rushes in,
feeling like a child and looking
like a woman…
She has been forecast with an
attempt to kill herself,
but the ending didn't test well.

So picking my skin
and my scales.
I see my horror
mirrored in the
sundown of your
blank stare.

Mirrored in the
Sundown of your

Devour3:45

I'll swallow up all of you
like a big bottle of big, big pills
but, you're the one that I should never take
but I can't sleep until I devour you
I cant sleep until I devour you

You're a flower that's withering,
I can't feel your thorns in my hand
This is no embrace
you're buried deep
and you're not crying
this is blood all over me
you're not crying
this is blood all over me
you're not crying
this is blood all over me

and I'll love you
if you let me
I'll love you
if you won't make me stop

I used to hold your haunted neck
I know I'll miss you,
if I close my eyes but this is loaded if I open them,
I'll see you and I'll blow your heart to pieces
I will blow your heart to pieces
I will blow your heart to pieces
I will blow your heart to pieces

and I'll love you,
if you let me
and I'll love you,
if you won't make me stop

My pain is not ashamed to repeat itself
My pain is not ashamed to repeat itself
My pain is not ashamed to repeat itself
My pain is not ashamed to repeat itself

I can't sleep until I devour you
I can't sleep until I devour you
I can't sleep until I devour you
I can't sleep until I devour you

and I'll love you,
if you let me
and I'll love you,
if you won't make me stop…

Pretty As A Swastika2:45

When I see you in the sun you're as pretty as a swastika

take you down, down from the inside
take you down, down from the inside

i want to smash into your face, like a plane,
and drown in between your legs

take you down, down from the inside
take you down, down from the inside

i'd die for your sins
if you don't kill me while I'm trying, baby

let me show you where it hurts
let me show you where it hurts
let me show you where it hurts
there's more than one way, to make you cry

When I see you in the sun you're as pretty as a swastika
When I see you in the sun you're as pretty as a swastika

take you down, down from the inside
take you down, down from the inside

one of us is a knife
one of us is ripe, baby

let me show you where it hurts
let me show you where it hurts
let me show you where it hurts
there's more than one way
to make you cry
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
there's more than one way
to make you cry

Leave A Scar3:54

It's not like I made myself a list
of new and different ways,
to murder your heart.
i'm just a painting that's still wet,
if you touch me I'll be smeared,
you'll be stained,
stained for the rest of your life.

so turn around and walk away
before we confuse the way, we abuse each other
if you're not afraid of getting hurt
then I am not afraid of how much I hurt you

i'm well aware I'm a danger to myself.
are you aware I'm a danger to others?

there's a crack in my soul that you thought was a smile.

what ever doesn't kill you is gonna leave a scar
what ever doesn't kill you is gonna leave a scar

i'm more like a silver bullet,
than I'm like a gun,
I'm not easy to hold.
I'm moving fast and if i stay inside your heart,
I'm certain that this will be the end of your life

so turn around and walk away
before we confuse the way, we abuse each other
if your not afraid of getting hurt
then I am not afraid of how much I hurt you

i'm well aware I'm a danger to to myself
are you aware I'm a danger to others?

there's a crack in my soul, you thought was a smile

whatever doesn't kill you is gonna leave a scar
whatever doesn't kill you is gonna leave a scar
leave a scar, leave a scar, leave a scar
whatever doesn't kill you is gonna leave a scar

I should warn you that you may fuck me
but the chances are, I'm gonna fuck you over

whatever doesn't kill you is gonna leave a scar
whatever doesn't kill you is gonna leave a scar
leave a scar, leave a scar, leave a scar
what ever doesn't kill you is gonna leave a scar

Four Rusted Horses5:00

Who'll ride this dying carousel?
four rusting horses strangled by their own rope.
What children love a singing wheel,

Blank and White4:27

as if we need a ‘why' I'll be it,
and I'll be the ‘who' for an
apocalypse ‘how'.
if the world had one neck, my hands would be the ‘where',
and I would choke all of you down,
I will choke all of you down

give me a picket sign
and make it blank and white
like all those stupid teenage girls
we are gonna to need them where we're going tonight.

all you fuckers vote beep beep beep

Running to the Edge of the World6:25

remember when i took you
up to the top of the hill?
we had our knives drawn.
they were as sharp
as we were in love.
if god crossed us
we'd take all his drugs,
burn his money
and his house down,
and wait for the fire to spread.

but sometimes hate is not enough
to turn this all to ashes.
together as one
against all others
break all of our wings to
make sure it crashes
now we're running to the edge of the world
running running away
we're running to the edge of the world
but i don't know if the world will end today

I had no choice,
I erased the debt of our family.
I let you say goodbye
with lips like dynamite.
And everyone
turned their backs
because they knew
when we held on tight
to each other,
that we were something
fatal
that fell into the wrong hands.

but sometime hate is not enough
to turn this all to ashes
together as one
against all others
break all of their wings and
make sure it crashes

we're running to the edge of the world
running running away
we're running to the edge of the world
but i don't know if the world will end today

i don't seek death
i seek destruction
until death we see destruction

we don't seek death
we seek destruction
until death we seek destruction

we're running to the edge of the world
running running away
we're running to the edge of the world
but i don't know if the world will end today
we're running to the edge of the world
running running away
we're running to the edge of the world
but I don't know if the world will end today

I can see a new beginning
rise behind the sun

WOW4:55

I had a dream,
this one I feel the need to mention:

i was happy for ‘awhile' and i stopped being scared and ashamed to say what's on my mind.
but you thought that I'd change after ‘awhile' and said,
"you better treat me different, or else!"
"or else" seems like a stupid,
fucking thing to say to someone like me
someone like me?
wow
wow
wow
w w w w w w w wow

don't be surprised i can look you in the eye
but it's hard
to take you
serious
when you take me inside
don't be surprised i can look you in the eye
but it's hard
to take you
serious
when you take me inside

i am worse
than what you think you'd catch from me
‘complicated' is understated.
did you stop and take a look at who you fell in love with?
at who you fell in love with?
It doesn't matter how many times I say it,
it never gets old,
that's why i have to say WOW
wow wow wow
w w w w w w w WOW

don't be surprised i can look you in the eye
but it's hard
to take you
serious
when you take me inside
don't be surprised i can look you in the eye
but it's hard
to take you
serious
when you take me inside

It doesn't matter if you're going to come
or just going
I never wanted you to come
here anyway
there is a word that's like you,
because it can be a noun, a verb, an exclamation
or the thing that I say
when something is unbelievable
when i am not able to believe, how unbelievably, unbelievable
that you believe that you could not be leavable
that's when I have to say
WOW WOW, WOW
w w w w w w w WOW

don't be surprised i can look you in the eye
but it's hard
to take you
serious
when you take me inside
don't be surprised i can look you in the eye
but it's hard
to take you
serious
when you take me inside

It doesn't matter how many times I say it,
it never gets old,
that's why i have to say WOW

Wight Spider5:32

I'll build you a shiny dollhouse or church
for you to shrink
into a tiny wight spider
and gorge on horrid memories
with conceited wings

smother the past in a cocoon
or me
and i'll help you move
all the bodies
oh oh

i'll possess you but i don't
need you
to be another one
of my possessions
i don't need you to be my possession

and i won't make you kneel
for anyone
but me
i won't promise a star
don't promise your soul
we'll say that we don't believe

i'll keep you wet
when the world is dry
I can see them coming
I'll take you back inside
if they came for answers i'll
wrap my claws round your mouth tight
we'll consume each other
until there's nothing left to hide
and they can all drown in our blood

i'll possess you but i don't
need you
to be another one
of my possessions
i don't need you to be my possession

and I won't make you kneel
for anyone
but me
i won't promise a star
don't promise your soul
we'll say that we don't believe
and I won't make you kneel
for anyone
but me
i won't promise a star
don't promise your soul
we'll say that we don't believe

we can't haunt this home
home anymore

Unkillable Monster3:43

how the fuck are we supposed to know
when I'm a monster, with the way
you refuse to die?
how the fuck are we supposed to know
if we're in love
or if we're pain

I'm a tightrope walker
can't find my circus
and I'm damaged beyond repair.
Now you're just a coffin
of a girl I knew
and I'm buried in you

You never said,
"I'll end up like this."
or "no"
you never said I'd end up like this,
no…

Sometimes I dream I'm an
exterminating angel
a traveling executioner from heaven
sent to give you the prettiest
death I know.
call the grave and make our reservations.

You never said,
"I'll end up like this."
you never said I'd end up like this,
no…
You never said,
"I'll end up like this."
you never said I'd end up like this,
no…
You never said,
"I'll end up like this."
you never said I'd end up like this,
no…

are we in love or are we in pain?
are we in love or are we in pain?
are we in love or are we in pain?
are we in love or are we in pain?

how the fuck are we supposed to know
when I'm a monster, with the way
you refuse to die?
how the fuck are we supposed to know
if we're in love
or if we're pain
Why is my wound a front door to you?
am I my own shadow?
Why is my wound a front door to you?
am I my own shadow?

We're From America5:04

We're from America, we're from America
where we eat our young
We're from America, we're from America

We're from America, we're from America
where they let you come on their faces

We don't believe in credibility,
because we know that we're fucking incredible

I Have to Look Up Just to See Hell4:11

the fruit is speechless
before our sorceries
the party has just begun.
timelapse and dancing and rotting in place.
and we have reached the high end of low
the high end of low
the high end of low

you can take me
the grave can take me
the earth is waiting to eat us alive
i love you damaged,
i need human wreckage
i have to look up
just to see hell

fallen fallen fallen from grace,
now for you
this is why you should run
fallen fallen fallen from grace,
now for you
this is why you should run

the core of a woman
is where her body
chooses to revolve like a corpse.
centrifugal, melted under the skin,
bacteria…
into the napalm heart i explode,
I explode
I explode

you can take me
the grave can take me
the earth is waiting to eat us alive
i love you damaged,
i need human wreckage
i have to look up
just to see hell

fallen fallen fallen from grace,
now for you
this is why you should run
fallen fallen fallen from grace,
now for you
this is why you should run

the light shines in the darkness
and the darkness will never understand it
the light shines in the darkness
and the darkness will never understand it
the light shines in the darkness
and the darkness will never understand it
the light shines in the darkness
and the darkness will never understand it

you can take me
the grave can take me
the earth is waiting to eat us alive
love you damaged I need human wreckage
I have to look up just to see hell

you can take me
the grave can take me
the earth is waiting to eat us alive
love you damaged i need human wreckage
I have to look up just to see hell

Into The Fire5:14

This is the film
close to the third act and the misery
this isn't rain

you rapist werewolves
this is god pissing down on you
Don't worry,
you won't die alone
I'll break off my own arms and
sharpen my bones and
stab you once for each time
I thought of you,
trying to take something

you'll never be good enough
to even look upon

it's better to push something when it's slipping
than to risk being dragged down

If you want to hit bottom
don't bother taking me with you
and I won't answer if you call
I'm two heartbeats ahead in hell
trying to break your fall


this isn't a mob,
i won't need to change
to change the names
everyone around you has murdered
someone's something sacred
there isn't one nail without dirt under it
there isn't any "white cotton panties"
that aren't soaked and stained red

it's better to push something when it's slipping

than to risk being dragged down

If you want to hit bottom
don't bother taking me with you
and I won't answer if you call
I'm two heartbeats ahead in hell
trying to break your fall

into the fire
into the fire
into the fire

into the fire
into the fire
into the fire
into the fire
into the fire

154:20

If you can hear this don't assume that I'm talking to you
Yesterday everything I thought, I believed in died
But today is my birthday, today is my birthday

I don't need you, I'll say it to myself
It doesn't mean I won't need somebody
Anyone with half a soul will hear this and they'll never leave me

If you don't know what forever feels like
I'll show you what it feels like without it
I'll show you what it feels like without it

This time I won't hesitate to kill to protect what I believe in
This time I won't hesitate to kill to protect what I believe in

And I can get by now, I'm not really dead
But I really needed someone to save me
Leaving me alone to die
Is worse than having any guts to kill me

If you don't know what forever feels like
I'll show you what it feels like without it
I'll show you what it feels like without it

This time I won't hesitate to kill to protect what I believe in
This time I won't hesitate to kill to protect what I believe in

Not letting you win won't satisfy me
I'll teach you about loss
Not letting you win won't satisfy me
I'll teach you about loss

Not letting you win won't satisfy me
I'll teach you about loss
Not letting you win won't satisfy me
I'll teach you about loss

Not letting you win won't satisfy me
I'll teach you about loss
Not letting you win won't satisfy me
I'll teach you about loss

No Reflection4:36

Crushing
Cheating
Changing

Am I deaf or dead?
Is this constricting construction,
or just streets with rusty signs,
of something violent
coming?

This will hurt you
worse than me.
I’m weak,
7 days i’m weak.
Don’t run from me.
I won’t bother
counting 1, 2, 3…

I don’t know which me that I love
I’ve got no reflection
I don’t know which me that I love
I’ve got no reflection

I can show myself
how to make a noose.
A gun’s cliche,
and a razor too.
I’m not a death-trip vacation
vacant station,
made of scars
and filled with my old wounds.

This will hurt you
worse than me.
I’m weak,
7 days i’m weak.
Don’t run from me.
I won’t bother
counting 1, 2, 3…

I don’t know which me that I love
I’ve got no reflection
I don’t know which me that I love
I’ve got no reflection

You…
you don’t even want to know
what I’m gonna do to you
you don’t even want to know
what I’m gonna do to you

I don’t know which me that I love
I’ve got no reflection
I don’t know which me that I love
I’ve got no reflection
no reflection

I’ve got no reflection

Pistol Whipped4:10

You look so pretty

Don’t wanna hit you
but the only thing,
between our love is
(1) a bloody nose
(2) a busted lip
and
(3) a blackened eye

Overneath The Path Of Misery5:18

“And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing. ”
- William Shakespeare

Stare into my Kodak Rome
Jack-hammer ice eyes
I never thought you’d see
the asphalt crack, crack, crack
like black eggshell

Don’t ever say I never warned
you from the start
Don’t ever say I never warned
you from the start
You’re not a shovel
and I’m not your dirt

Is there any way to unswallow
my pride?
Can I fuck myself down?
Why die,
when you can kill the father?
Dad is missing an ‘e’

No Macbeth

Slo-Mo-Tion4:24

You’ve got your

It keeps your brain safe,

But don’t worry,

Pump in the laughter

I think we got ourselves

Don’t we wish

Morbid panic.
Hate and morbid panic?

This is my beautiful show

The Gardener4:39

I’m not man enough to be human
but I’m trying to fit in
and I’m learning to fake it

Don’t ever meet their friends
It tells you too much
or not enough
or worse
exactly the wrong thing
every nuance
every detail
every movement
every smell
sound
phrase
inflection
the way she laughs
these are all the things you either obsessively fetishize
or make yourself grow to love
although you are supposed to be done growing she is still growing it’s like a garden with two flowers
one just blooming and casting a shadow
just like yours
and then it becomes struggle
of sunlight
or rain
or weeds
she and every she
is doomed to be your idea of her
she and every she
is doomed to be your idea of her

I’m not man enough to be human
but I’m trying to fit in
and I’m learning to fa fa fa fake it

but worse so,
back to the point
you are no longer the flower
and the sun
and most importantly the garden
or the gardener

a muse
the amusement
i am used
it’s all ruined if you meet their friends

she and every she
is doomed to be your idea of her
she and every she
is doomed to be your idea of her
I’m not man enough to be human
but I’m trying to fit in
and I’m learning to fa fa fa fake it
fa fa fa fa fa fake it
fa fa fa fa fa fake it
fa fa fa fa fa fake it
ffffffffffffffa fa fa fake it

you never wanted
to share
your concept of your creation
with any other gods or worshippers
your book isn’t burned
it was never written
your book isn’t burned
it was never written

The Flowers Of Evil5:19

The day they covered us in the dirt
like stars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
The day they covered us in the dirt
like stars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers

Your body’s on me
like sleepless spiders.
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty

Your bodies on me like
sleepless spiders.
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty
Your touch is so empty

I’ve been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
shun the light
I’ve been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
shun the light

The day they covered us in the dirt
like scars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers
The day they covered us in the dirt
like scars in the ground
that will grow into dead flowers

I’ve been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
shun the light
I’ve been running
from the bloodless
for fear of exile
for all of my sorceries
that shun the light
shun the light

Children Of Cain5:17

Sacrifice won’t suffice
resurrection needs your death
to happen twice
fall on my heart
and burn and forge
your tortured black-smitten
into the sharpest, fucking sword

don’t assume that I’m always with you
It’s just where my mortal body happens to be

No Sineater to slay
Us Children of Cain
Watching monkey suicide,
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away

Christ consciousness
manifest to the Golden Ratio
5 or 500 years ago
We were 15 foot high
And to die
was a Bardot Bridge(t)
We never thought we’d cross
To burn down behind and below

No Sineater to slay
Us Children of Cain
Watching monkey suicide,
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away

don’t assume that I’m always with you
It’s just where my mortal body happens to be

So take your little black book
I see the way that you look into it
I’ll eat it and I’ll cut my tongue
And all the pages you spread,
‘Sweet as honey,’ you said
But I’m choking on your bitter stories

No Sineater to slay
Us Children of Cain
Watching monkey suicide,
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away

Disengaged3:25

And I could look into the
crowded morgue of mistakes
the sun stopped its smile
and frowned on me too
my re-built/re-mastered heart
is smashed into its faces
and its face is confused

I cut my throat in two
I said “sorry” to you,
for being a fool
but I didn’t want forgiveness.
It was regret,
not an apology
it was regret
regret
regret

Lay Down Your Goddamn Arms4:13

I’m not of this world
you’re not in this heart
this isn’t in me
I’m not of this world
you’re not in this heart
this isn’t in me

To open this box
you can’t shoot the lock
I hide everything
so you can’t see

Wanna fight?
Wanna fuck?
Wanna die?
Try your luck…
Lay down your goddamn arms

Wanna fight?
Wanna fuck?
Wanna die?
Try your luck…
Lay down your goddamn arms

There isn’t a key,

There isn’t a key,

Murderers Are Getting Prettier Every Day4:18

Do you always
have to hire actors,
to play the devils that talk me
out of my
sui-sites?

You’re just
a ring tone,
that happens when
you get sick enough
to call the one
with bullet holes,
bullet holes for eyes

Fall on your knees
I hear the horrid voices
of someone else’s angels
Fall on your knees
I hear the horrid voices
of someone else’s angels

I broke open the box
when I spoke the spell
and I became
an entrance wound
to your bedroom grave,
and I was paid
with the shadow of consensual rape
Your ransom note
is quoted by,
your death and
birth certificates
and all of your love,
and all of your love letters
read just like my will

Fall on your knees
I hear the horrid voices
of someone else’s angels
Fall on your knees
I hear the horrid voices
of someone else’s angels

I don’t have to see
to know that murderers
are getting prettier
every day
I don’t have to see
to know that murderers
are getting prettier
every day

Fall on your knees
I hear the horrid voices
of someone else’s angels

Born Villain5:26

I could give you a dozen
fresh,
cut,
pink, or red, or white
I wonder if they knew what they
would grow to become

you’ll have to cut it down
and burn me into splinters
or I’ll unwrap the string
that was me,
around your finger.
And I’ll hang you in
your bedroom burial ground

there is a taste for blood
and it’s something deep inside
there is a taste for blood

I don’t ever want god
to hear our screams
and mistake them for prayers.

Breaking The Same Old Ground4:27

And then I found how to be what you want
when I was out looking for something new

Digging too deep
and now it’s too late
we just keep on
breaking the same old ground

So you think that I asked for this
well, let me show you
what I think of your lips
And you think that I asked for this
come on,
use your fist

And then I found how to be what you want
when I was out looking for something new

Digging too deep
and now it’s too late
we just keep on
breaking the same old ground

So you think that I asked for this
well, let me show you
what I think of your lips
And you think that I asked for this
come on,
use your fist

When I found how to be what you want
I was out looking for something new
digging too deep
now it’s too late
we just keep on
breaking the same old ground
breaking the same old ground
shhhhhh…
shhhhhh…

I am owned by death
and
I’m in love with oblivion

I am owned by death

I’m in love with oblivion

Alabama Song / Whiskey Bar

(Performed live in Berlin April 11, 2003 as part of the Grotesk Burlesk)

Show me the way
To the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

Show me the way
To the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

If we don't find
The next whiskey bar
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you
I tell you we must die

Oh, moon of Alabama
Now we say goodbye
We've lost our dear old mama
Oh, now have whiskey, oh, you know why?

Oh, moon of Alabama
Now we say goodbye
We've lost our dear old mama
Oh, now have whiskey, oh, you know why?
Show me the way
To the next little girl
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

Show me the way
To the next little boy
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why

For if we don't find
The next little girl
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you, I'll tell you
I tell you we must die

Oh, moon of Alabama
Now we say goodbye
We've lost our dear old mama
Oh, now have whiskey, oh, you know why?

Oh, moon
Now we say goodbye
We've lost our dear old mama
Oh, must have whiskey, oh, you know why?

Apple Of Sodom 4:26

(Lost Highway, soundtrack)

I found the center of fruit is late
It is the center of truth today
Cut the apple in two
Oh, I pray it isn't true

I found the center of fruit is late
Is the center of truth today
I cut the apple in two
Oh, I pray it isn't true
I've got something you can never eat
I've got something you can never eat
I've got something you can never eat
I've got something you can never eat

I drained my heart and burn my soul
I trained the core to stop my growth
I pray to die in space
to cover me in snow
to cover me in snow
cover me in snow
I'm dying, I hope you're dying too
cover me in snow
I'm dying, I hope you're dying too
I'm dying, I hope you're dying too
I'm dying, I hope you're dying too
I'm dying, I hope you're dying too
I'm dying, I hope you're dying too
I'm dying, I hope you're dying too
I'm dying, I hope you're dying too

Take this from me, (hate me, hate me)
Take this from me, (hate me, hate me)

1, 2, 3, he is a speed bump mannequin
1, 2, 3, he can't move just stand still
1, 2, 3, he is a speed bump mannequin

Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes 3:59

(The Last Tour On Earth)

the boy's got a head like an atom bomb
hang him from a cross like the number one son
and he's been waiting so long
to get it on
the boy's 15 but he's 16 gauge
wants to break out from his Jesus cage
he's already torn out the last page
it's the "latest rage"
violence for the people
they always eat the hand that bleeds
violence for the people
give the kids what they need
kill your god, kill your god
kill your t.v.
the boy's purified by the quitter gods
burning up his cross like a revelation
and his glass jaw opens
like a puppet head
this is what you should fear
you are what you should fear

Baboon Rape Party 2:41

(The Golden Age of Grotesque, import / This Is The New Shit, single)

(Instrumental)

Diamonds & Pollen 3:55

(Disposable Teens, single)

America bled to death
Electric and pregnant
Brilliant sluts and fire worship
Devouring the righteous
We were just monkeys braiding thread
We were golden needles
Diamonds and pollen
And Coma White
A manniqueen of depression
The face of a Dead Star
Fagged out for the coroner
She was so soft in the bed
And the pomegranate earth spins into oblivion
The one that trembles
The one that fears
The one that suffers
The one that vomits
The one that needs
The one that trembles
The one that fears
The one that suffers
The one that vomits
The one that needs

A million scars, a million promises

And all your sad endings are planting in their gardens
And they're waiting to grow and to die like flowers do

Down In The Park 5:00

(Lunchbox, single)

Down in the park
Where the machmen meet
The machines are playing kill-by-numbers
Down in the park with a friend called five

I was in a car crash
Or was it the war?
Well, I've never been quite the same
Little white lies like 'I was there'

Come to zom-zoms
A place to eat
Like it was built in one day
You can watch the humans try to run

Oh, look, there's a rape machine
I'd go outside if it looks the other way
You wouldn't believe
The things they do

Down in the park
Where the chant is death, death, death
Until the sun cries morning
Down in the park with friends of mine

We are not lovers
We are not romantics
We are here to serve you
A different face but the words never change

Five To One 4:22

(Disposable Teens, single)

Five to one baby one in five
No one here gets out alive now
You get yours baby I'll get mine
Gonna make it baby if we try
Come on, yeah!

The old get older and the young get stronger
May take a week and it may take longer
They got the guns but we got the numbers
Gonna win yeah we're taking over
Come on, yeah

Your ballroom days are over, baby
Night is drawing near
Shadows of the evening crawl across the years
You walk across the floor with flowers in your hands
Trying to tell me no one fucking understands
Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes
Gonna make it baby in our prime

Get together one more time...

I wanna fuck you, mother
Fuck you!
Get together one more time...

Fuck you...mother

Get My Rocks Off 3:05

(The Last Tour On Earth, deluxe edition)

Some men need some killer weed, some men need cocaine
Some men need some cactus juice, to purify the brain
Some men need two women, some need alcohol
Everybody needs a little something, but Lord I need it all

To get my rocks off, get my rocks off
Get my rocks off the mountain, and roll 'em on down

I may do you one time, and I may do you more
I may turn you into something, that you ain't ready for
I might want your body, and I might want your bread
I might want your momma to come visit me instead

And get my rocks off, get my rocks off
Get my rocks off the mountain, and roll 'em on down

Sometimes I dream of chicks, to bring me ever lasting joys
Sometimes I dream of animals, sometimes I dream of boys
Sometimes I kill the living, sometimes I raise the dead
Sometimes I say just fuck it all, and crawl back into bed

And get my rocks off, get my rocks off
Get my rocks off the mountain, and roll 'em on down

Golden Years 3:49

(Dead Man On Campus, soundtrack)

Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come get up my baby

Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Last night they loved you, opening doors and pulling some strings, angel

Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years, gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby

Some of these days, and it won't be long
Gonna drive back down where you once belonged
In the back of a dream car twenty-foot long
Don't cry my sweet, don't break my heart
Doing all right, but you gotta get smart
Wish upon, wish upon, day upon day, I believe oh Lord
I believe all the way
Come get up my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows, run for the shadows in these golden years

There's my baby, lost thats all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby

Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come get up my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years

Highway to Hell 3:42

(Detroit Rock City, soundtrack)

Living easy, livin' free
Season ticket, on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too

I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell

No stop signs, speedin' limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody gonna mess me 'round
Hey Satan, paid my dues
I'm playin' in a rockin' band
Hey Mama, look at me
I'm on my way to the promiseland

I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell

I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell

The KKK Took My Baby Away 3:43

(We're A Happy Family, A Tribute to the Ramones)

She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there
She never got there
They say

The KKK took my baby away
they took her away, away from me

I don't know where my baby can be
They took her from me
They took her from me

Ring me up the President
And find out where my baby went
Ring me up the FBI and find out if
My baby's alive

Yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there
She never got there
They say

The KKK took my baby away
they took her away, away from me

The La La Song 1:32

First I'm going to lick you
Then I'm going to eat you
So... La la la la
La la la la, lalala
La la lala
La la la la...
Lalala La la
It's a fucking dance baby

The Long Hard Road Out of Hell 4:21

(Spawn, soundtrack)

I want to fly into the sun
Need faith to make me numb
Live like a teenage Christ
I'm a saint, got a date with suicide

Oh Mary, Mary
To be this young is oh so scary
Mary, Mary
To be this young I'm oh so scared
I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road, out of hell
I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road, out of hell

You never said forever, could ever hurt like this
You never said forever, could ever hurt like this

Spin my way out of hell
There's nothing left of this soul to sell
Live fast and die fast too
How many times to do this for you?
How many times to do this for you?

Mary, Mary
To be this young I'm oh so scared
I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road, out of hell
I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road, out of hell

You never said forever, could ever hurt like this
You never said forever, could ever hurt like this

I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road, out of hell

Long hard road, out of hell

I wanna live, I wanna love
But it's a long hard road, out of hell

Sell my soul for anything, anything but you
Sell my soul for anything, anything but you

Mind of a Lunatic 9:49

(This Is The New Shit, single)

Paranoid, sittin' in a deep sweat
Thinkin' I gotta fuck somebody before the week ends
The sight of blood excites me, shoot you in the head
Sit down, and watch you bleed to death
I hear the sound of your last breath
Shouldn't have been around, I went all the way left
You was in the right place with me at the wrong time
I'm a psychopath, in a minute lose my fuckin' mind
Calm down, back to reality
Don't fear death, 'cause I know that it follows me
Flashes, I get flashes of Jason
Gimme a knife, a million lives I've wasted
The shadow of death follows me, I don't give a fuck
Pussy play Superman, your ass'll get boxed up
Put him in a straight jacket, the man's sick
This is what goes on in the mind of a lunatic

Lookin' through her window, now my body is warm
Shes naked, and I'm a peepin tom
Her body's beautiful, so I'm thinkin' rape
Shouldn't have had her curtains open, so that's her fate
Leavin' out her house, grabbed the bitch by her mouth
Drug her back in, slammed her down on the couch
Whipped out my knife, said, if you scream, I cut you
Opened her legs and commenced the fuckin'
She begged me not to kill her, so I gave her a rose
Then slit her throat, and watched her shake till her eyes closed
Had sex with the corpse before I left her
And drew my name on the wall like Helter Skelter
Run for shelter never crossed my mind
I had a gauge, a grenade, and even a nine
Dial 911 for the bitch
But the cops ain't shit when they're fuckin' with the mind of a lunatic

I sit alone in my four-cornered room starin' at candles
Dreamin' of the people I've dismantled
I close my eyes and I'm in the circle
These images of sons of bitches that I murdered
Glad bags of bodies bein' fucked up
Looks like I take a fit of my rage, I'm goin' nuts
Boys used to die when I'm full fo' that fry
I be eatin' when I'm high
So I say fuck and just let bullets fly
Like I said, my poster face is my identity
A homicidal maniac with suicidal tendencies
I'm on the violent tip, so yo, get a grip
And bitch, better come equipped, I ain't takin' no shit
'Cause here comes the mind of a lunatic

My girl's gettin' skinny, 'cause she's strung out on coke
So I went to her mother's house and cut out her throat
Her grandma was standin' there, she was screamin' out
As she reached for the telly, I put the blade in granny's ass
Went to the back and grabbed a shovel
Now granny's on her way to meet the devil
Pulled out my .38 and aimed at the bitch
A cop says 'freeze, motherfucker!' bitch, suck my dick
I said, die, motherfucker! As I blasted
Something clicked in my head, visions of bodies in plastic
The scent of buckshots in human flesh
Pigs dyin' from bullet wounds to the chest
No sheriff's gonna take me on a road
Dark as fuck, and let his pistols explode
Fuck that, 'cause I ain'ts to die
So I reloaded my Uzi and fired up another fry
It's got me crazy as fuck
A ragin' psychotic full of that angel's dust
The cops had that place surrounded
Hunted for a way to get out - and I found it
Innocent bystanders will watch, I set an example
I popped one, let me go, goddammit
Scot free
Or all of these motherfuckers comin' with me
All of a sudden the shit got silent
I remember wakin' up, in an asylum
Bein' treated like a troubled kid
My shirt was all bloody, and both of my wrists was slit
Think this is hard? This ain't as hard as it gets
No tellin' what's bein' thought up in the mind of a lunatic

January 5th, 1969
A damn fool was born with the mind of a lunatic
I should'a been killed
My sister fucked around and let me live
Now I developed a criminal behavior
Fuck with me, and I'll slay ya
Ass, beyond recognition, shit
Your dental records couldn't prove your identity, bitch
I beg your pardon, on talkin' to borden
You'll never find a motherfucker, so save your milk cartons
Cross the line, your ass is mine
I don't care if you're 9 or 99
Blind, crippled, or crazy, it don't faze me
Your funky ass will be pushin' up daisies
You wanna know what makes me click?
My psychiatrist says I got the mind of a lunatic

I ain't got it all, so don't fuck with me
Unless your ass wanna be made history
I'll blow your motherfuckin' house up
And if your wife and kids say "stop", they're fucked
I don't give a damn who I slay
Don't let me get a hold of some 'e' & 'j'
'Cause when the shit hits the fan
I'll stab your ass quicker than a Mexican
The nightmares I leave you with
Will seem to make Freddy bitch ass look like a wet dream
This is fact, not fictional, you son of a bitch
I got the mind of a lunatic

Paranoiac 3:54

(mOBSCENE, single)

I'd fuck you because you are famous
I'd fuck you for your money
I'd fuck you to control you
I'd fuck you so someday I can have half of everything you own
I'd fuck you to fuck you over
I'd fuck you until I find someone better
Then fuck you in secret
I'd fuck you because I can't remember if I'd already fucked you before
I'd fuck you out of boredom
I'd fuck you because I can't feel anything anyways
I'd fuck you to make the pain go away

Fuck you because I loved you
Fuck you for loving it too
I don't need a reason to hate you the way I do
Fuck you because I loved you
Fuck you for loving it too
I don't need a reason to hate you the way I do
Fuck you because I loved you
I don't need a reason to hate you
I don't need a reason to hate

I'd fuck you so I could feel something instead of nothing at all
I'd fuck you because you are beautiful
I'd fuck you because you are my nigger
I'd fuck you because I am your whore
I'd fuck you because you are a whore
I'd fuck you for fun
I'd fuck you for fun
I'd fuck you because I can
I'd fuck you so I have a place to stay
I'd fuck you so you will protect me

Fuck you because I loved you
Fuck you for loving it too
I don't need a reason to hate you the way I do
Fuck you because I loved you
Fuck you for loving it too
I don't need a reason to hate you the way I do
Fuck you because I loved you
I don't need a reason to hate you
I don't need a reason to hate

I don't need a reason (I'd fuck you)
I don't need a reason (I'd fuck you)
I don't need a reason

Personal Jesus 4:06

(Lest We Forget)

Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus...
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith

Redeemer 4:19

(Queen Of The Damned, soundtrack)

The hunger inside, given to me
Makes me what I am
Always it is calling me
For the blood of man

They say I cannot be this
I am jaded, hiding from the day
I can't bear, I cannot
Tame the hunger in me
Oh, I say I did it
Always searching
You can't fuck with fate
So instead you'll taste my pain

The hunger inside, given to me
Makes me feel alive
Always out, stalking prey
In the dark I hide
Feeling, falling, hating
Feel like I am fading
Hating life

They say I cannot be this
I am jaded, hiding from the day
I can't bear, I cannot
tame the hunger in me
Oh, I say I did it
Always searching
You can't fuck with fate
So instead you'll taste my pain

You say your life I'm taking
Always bothering me
I can't take this anymore
I'm failing, always smothering me
You look down on me
Ain't what you see
Take this gift from me
You will soon feed from me

Nothing seems exciting
Always the same hiding, hiding
It's haunting me. It's haunting me. It's haunting me.
It's haunting me. It's haunting me.

A Rose And A Baby Ruth 2:18

(The Last Tour On Earth, deluxe edition)

Doo, doo, doo, doo...
We had a quarrel
A teenage quarrel
Now I'm as blue as I know how to be
I can't call you on the phone
I can't even see you at your home
So I'm sending you this present
Just to prove that I'm telling the truth
Dear, I believe you won't laugh when you receive
This rose and a baby Ruth

Doo, doo, doo, doo...
I could have sent you an orchid of some kind
But that's all I had in my jeans at the time
But when we grow up
Some day I'll show up
Just to prove I was tellin' the truth
I'll kiss you too then I'll hand to you
This rose and a baby Ruth

Doo, doo, doo, doo...

The Suck For Your Solution 4:01

(Private Parts, soundtrack)

your mouth is like a suicide
talkin' like you never died
automatic charisma
for your chemical mind
I'll suffer for you
you're kissing me like benzocaine with your sleeping pill eyes
melting me down and suck suck sucking my brain
I'm gonna hate you tomorrow
because you make me hate you today
I'm gonna hate you tomorrow
because you make me hate you today
I can be the one that you believe in
I can be the liar in your bed
I'll be the suck for your solution
tell me that your sex isn't dead
dead
your sex is dead
I've suffered for you
I've suffered for you since the day I was made
I am the center of your hate
I'm gonna be you tomorrow
because you make me hate you today
I can be the one that you believe in
I can be the liar in your bed
I'll be the suck for your solution
Tell me that your sex isn't dead
dead
your sex is dead
all so tired
desexed and jaded
hopeless and soulless and bored of the thrill
we make our death-sex-symbol
when we can't fuck then we kill
dead
I've suffered for you
I've suffered for you since the day I was made

Sick City 2:03

(MarilynManson.com)

Sick city, yeah, restless people
Sick city burn their houses down
To make the sky look pretty
What can I do?
I'm just a person
This is a lie we always seem to hear
You just sit and things get worse
Watch TV and drink your beer
Walking all alone
Not going anywhere
Walking all alone
Nobody seems to care Restless as wind
This town is killing me
Gotta put an end to this
Restless misery
And I'm just one of those restless people
That can never seem to be satisfied with living
In this sick ol' sick ol' sick sick sick city
Might be too late for me to say goodbye
Might be too late to watch this sick ol' city die
Go on the road
Yeah I'm gonna try to say
Sick city so long farewell
Goodbye and die

Suicide Is Painless 3:45

(Blair Witch Project 2: Book of Shadows, soundtrack)

Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...

That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger... Watch it grin...

And suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And I replied, "Oh why ask me?"

And suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.

...And you can do the same thing if you please.

Tainted Love 3:21

(Not Another Teen Movie, soundtrack)

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain you drive in the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I'll give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love... oh
Tainted love

Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want any more from me
To make things right
Need someone to hold you tight
And you'll think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I'll give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love... oh
Tainted love

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go

Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I run from you
This tainted love you've given
I'll give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love... oh
Tainted love

Tainted love

This Is Halloween 3:22

(Nightmare Before Christmas, soundtrack)

Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick-or-treat 'til the neighbor's gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween

I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll...
Scream! This is Halloween
Red and black, slimy green
Aren't you scared?
Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night

Everybody scream, everybody scream
In our town of Halloween!

I am the clown with the tearaway face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace
I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair
I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!

Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare
That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween

In this town
Don't we love it now?

Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everyone scream
Won't ya please make way for a very special guy
Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

La la la la-la
La la la la-la
La la la la-la
La la la

Working Class Hero 3:42

(Disposable Teens, single)

As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

You're So Vain 4:02

(Born Villain bonus track, featuring Johnny Depp)

You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
