Marilyn Manson - The Death Song [Live]

Copied!

{Intro: Marilyn Manson & Crowd}
Denver, Colorado, it's been a long time comin'
And you're the best fucking crowd I've seen all my life
There's a lotta people standin' outside tonight
Holdin' this fuckin' book right here
And they wanna tell me, that they care more about you than I do
So, I think for those people outside
Can I hear a: "Fuck you!" – Fuck you!
And like I promised, I said I would read from the bible
And let me ask you a question, does this sound
Like it's very offensive to young people?
"For evеryone, that curses his father or his mothеr
He shall surely be put to death"
And that's not all, brothers and sisters
And if we can turn our bibles to psalms
"Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth
The little ones against the stones"
So let me ask you a quetion, who is a worse influence
God or Marilyn Manson? – God!
And if that is not the best fuckin' example
God himself killed his own motherfuckin' son
So let's sing The Death Song, kids!

{Verse 1}
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 a ticket
And we hope that heaven's true

{Pre-Chorus}
I saw a cop beat a priest on the TV
And I know they killed our heroes, too

{Chorus}
We sing the death song, kids
'Cause we got no future
We wanna be just like you
Wanna be just like you
Wanna be just like you

{Interlude}
Let's sing the death song, kids

{Verse 2}
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

{Pre-Chorus}
I saw a priest kill a cop on the TV
And I know now they're our heroes, too

{Chorus}
Sing the death song, kids
'Cause we got no future
We wanna be just like you
Wanna be just like you
Wanna be just like you

{Post-Chorus}
We sing the death song, kids
We sing the death song, kids

{Bridge}
We sing the death song, kids
We sing the death song, kids
We write our prayers on a little bomb
Kiss it on the face and send it to God

{Chorus}
Sing the death song, kids
'Cause we got no future
Wanna be just like you
Wanna be just like you
Wanna be just like you

{Outro}
Were the world, now we got no future
We wanna be just like you
Wanna be just like you
Wanna be just like you
We were the world, we got no future
We wanna be just like you
Wanna be just like you
Wanna be just like you
Let's sing the death song, Denver

Biography

edit bio

Brian Hugh Warner who is better known under his stage name of Marilyn Manson is a musician, painter, actor, multimedia artist, and former music journalist. His stage name is a combination of the names of two American icons, actress Marilyn Monroe and multiple murder conspiracy convict Charles Manson.

I picked that (Marilyn Manson) as the fakest stage name of all to say that this is what show business is, fake. Marilyn Monroe wasn’t even her real name, Charles Manson isn’t his real name, and now, I’m taking that to be my real name. But what’s real? You can’t find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best. As long as you know everything’s a lie, you can’t hurt yourself.

—Marylin Manson
