Love is the Enemy - Marilyn Manson lyrics
from the album "The Golden Age of Grotesque"
THIS IS THE NEW SHIT
Everything has been said before, there's nothing left to say anymore.
When it's all the same you can ask for it by name.
Babble babble bitch bitch rebel rebel party party
Sex sex sex and don't forget the violence.
Blah blah blah got your lovey dovey sad and lonely,
Stick your stupid slogan in, everybody sing along.
Are you motherfuckers ready for the new shit?
Stand up and admit tomorrow's never coming.
This is the new shit, stand up and admit.
Do we get it? No! Do we want it? Yeah!
This is the new shit, stand up and admit.
Babble babble bitch bitch rebel rebel party party
Sex sex sex and don't forget the violence.
Blah blah blah got your lovey dovey sad and lonely,
Stick your stupid slogan in, everybody sing along.
Everything has been said before, there's nothing left to say anymore.
When it's all the same you can ask for it by name.
Are you motherfuckers ready for the new shit?
Stand up and admit tomorrow's never coming.
This is the new shit, stand up and admit.
Do we get it? No! Do we want it? Yeah!
This is the new shit, stand up and admit.
Now it's you-know-who, I got the you-know-what.
I stick it you-know-where, you know why, you don't care.
Let us entertain you.
mOBSCENE
We are the things of shapes to come, your freedom's not free and dumb.
This depression is great, the defamation age, they know my name,
Waltzing to scum and base and married to the pain.
Bang, we want it.
You came to see the mobscene, I know it isn't your scene,
It's better than a sex scene and it's so fucking obscene.
You want commitment, put on your best suit.
Get your arms around me, now we're going downtown.
Be obscene, baby, not heard.
The day that love opened our eyes we watched the world end.
We have high places but we have no friends.
They told us sin's not good but we know it's great,
Wartime full frontal drugs, sex tank armour plate.
Bang, we want it.
You came to see the mobscene, I know it isn't your scene,
It's better than a sex scene and it's so fucking obscene.
You want commitment, put on your best suit.
Get your arms around me, now we're going downtown.
Be obscene, baby, not heard.
DOLL-DAGGA BUZZ-BUZZ ZIGGETY-ZAG
Doll dagga buzz buzz ziggety zag, god mod grotesque burlesque drag.
All the goosestep girlies with their cursive faces, we know it's all Braille beneath the skirt.
I'm bulletproof bizzop and swing heil, I don't really care what gentlemen prefer.
Say, all you pin-down girls with bona fide ballers,
So manically depressed and manically dressed.
We got a Venus, not in furs but in uniforms, if you're not dancing then you're dead.
Doll dagga buzz buzz ziggety zag, god mod grotesque burlesque drag.
All the thug rock kids are playing, all the punk god angels saying,
The toys are us and we don't even know.
Go, throw your shapes, doppelgängers, you're one of us!
Trumpet mouth junkie saints silver tongue marching down the stairway to substance.
Cocaingels and asses give me opiate masses,
Fill your church porn preachers, we'll fill up our glasses.
Doll dagga buzz buzz ziggety zag, god mod grotesque burlesque drag.
You're one of us.
USE YOUR FIST AND NOT YOUR MOUTH
(come on, come on)
I am overground and outselling 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.
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.
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 hands are fists.
My hate pop won't ever stop, I'm fucking glad we're different,
This is my hate American style hit.
Don't bring it, 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.
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.
THE GOLDEN AGE OF GROTESQUE
All our monkeys have monkeys, we drive our death crush diamond Jaguar limousines.
We're not fantastic motherfuckers, but we play them on TV.
It's a dirty word Reich, say what you like.
We're the low art gloominati, and we aim to depress,
The scabaret sacrilegends, this is the golden age of grotesque.
The devils are girls with Van Gogh's missing ear,
You say what you want but filth is all that they hear.
I've got the jigger to make all you bigger, ladies und gentlemen,
So drop your piss room bait, and make sure you're not late, you tramps and lunatics.
It's a trick that's gonna make you click.
We're the low art gloominati, and we aim to depress,
The scabaret sacrilegends, this is the golden age of grotesque.
It's a dirty word Reich, say what you like.
So my bon mots, hitboy Tommy Trons, rowdy rowdy, honey fingered goodbye dolls,
Hellzapoppin, open your third nostril, put on your black face and your god is gone.
We're the low art gloominati, and we aim to depress,
The scabaret sacrilegends, this is the golden age of grotesque.
(s)AINT
I don't care if your world is ending today because 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 got an F and a C and I got a K too, and the only thing that's missing is a bitch like yoU.
You wanted perfect, you got your perfect, now I'm too perfect for someone like you.
I was a dandy in your ghetto with a snow white smile
But you'll never be as perfect, whatever you do.
What's my name, what's my name? Hold the S because I am an aint.
I am a bone top, a death's head on a mop stick,
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 vivisexsymbol.
You wanted perfect, you got your perfect, now I'm too perfect for someone like you.
I was a dandy in your ghetto with a snow white smile
But you'll never be as perfect, whatever you do.
What's my name, what's my name? Hold the S because I am an aint.
I got an F and a C and I got a K too, and the only thing that's 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.
What's my name, what's my name? Hold the S because I am an aint.
KA-BOOM KA-BOOM
We're a death marching band, Peter Pan off the wagon, entertain but never trust anyone sober.
We're tasteless but taste good, my stop hat's top hated,
Unsafe cheerleaders, 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 hit.
I'd like to love you but my heart is a sore, I am so yours.
Kaboom kaboom, I'd like to 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 hardcorevettes.
We fight war with drugs, and our sex always formal, we wear lawsuits when we get 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 hit.
I'd like to love you but my heart is a sore, I am so yours.
Kaboom kaboom, I'd like to love you.
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 hit.
I'd like to love you but my heart is a sore, I am so yours.
I am a big car and I'm a strip bar, call it fake, I call it good as it gets,
And nothing in this world is for real except you are for me and I am so yours.
SLUTGARDEN
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, but I don't care as long as you're mine.
When I said 'we', I know I meant 'me', and when I said 'sweet' I meant 'dirty'.
I'm unsafe, I won't repent,
So I memorise the words to the porno movies, it's the only thing I want to believe.
I memorise 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's a chain link fence that I have put up.
I 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', I know I meant 'me', and when I said 'sweet' I meant 'dirty'.
I'm unsafe, I won't regret,
So I memorise the words to the porno movies, it's the only thing I want to believe.
I memorise 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.
You are the church, I am the steeple; when we fuck we're all God's people.
♠
The beauty spot was borrowed, 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 death beat so softly,
We bend our knees at the altar of my ego.
You drained my heart and made a spade, 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, there's still traces of me in your veins.
And we said til we die.
PARA-NOIR
(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 it anyway, 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.
(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're 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.
THE BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS
We'll be the worms in your apple pie, fake abuse for our bios blacken our own eyes.
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're 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 got my villain necktie and a mouth of hi-fi, so sharp I'm bleeding from my Judas hole.
Archdandy nogoodnik and I'm headed for crashville,
I'm most monster with a groan box in the meat show.
Set fashion, not follow; spit vitriol, not swallow.
We're 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 got the loudest stereotype, even neophytes deep six 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.
Stop the song and remember what you used to be, somebody that could fucking impress me.
BETTER OF TWO EVILS
Haters call me bitch, call me faggot, call me whitey, but I am something you can never be.
I won't look prettier if I smile for the picture.
Motherfuckers never liked me then and they sure won't like me now.
Don't try to drag me down in your cliché, your fake grin fits your faker face,
But I find all my pleasure in your misery.
I'll step on you on my way up, I'll step on you on my way down.
Haters call me bitch, call me faggot, call me whitey, but I am something that you'll never be.
I'll be your scapegoat, I'll be your saviour, I'm the better of two evils.
I want to hang all you cattle with your velvet rope,
Motherfuckers step up and get into an orderly line.
I'll show you how to make a muscle, it takes less strength to grin
Than it does to spit on all you paparazzi Nazis.
I'll step on you on my way up, I'll fucking step on you on my way down.
Haters call me bitch, call me faggot, call me whitey, but I am something that you'll never be.
I'll be your scapegoat, I'll be your saviour, I'm the better of two evils.
Don't try to lead me to temptation, I've been delivered and I already know the way.
VODEVIL
I wake up every day on the wrong side of the bed,
I won't lay down on the floor like I'm the whore in your head.
Call me a failure, pretender, sex offender, infector,
Say I killed all my friends, and I deserve to be dead.
Kiss baby kiss, bang baby bang, suck baby suck, it's Vaudeville.
This isn't music and we're not a band, we're five middle fingers on a motherfucking hand.
I won't pull out, I just came, I want all of the blame.
Your love is tin, faith is thin, no concept of pain, right to complain.
All you fagazine senile teens jaw me, blackball me,
Deejay yourself away, turn your back, it will be easier to stab.
Kiss baby kiss, bang baby bang, suck baby suck, it's Vaudeville.
This isn't music and we're not a band, we're five middle fingers on a motherfucking hand.
ADD, TRD, violent shiny hate crime, total requested dead.
It's version pointless, downloadable suicide.
The only ones left standing are the ones not demanding.
This isn't a show, this is my fucking life.
I'm not ashamed you're entertained, but I'm not a puppet, I am a grenade.
from the album "Lest We Forget: The Best Of"
PERSONAL JESUS
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.
TAINTED LOVE
Sometimes I feel I've got to run away, I've got to get away
From the pain that you drive in the heart of me.
The love we share seems to go nowhere.
I've lost my light, I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night.
Once I ran to you; now I run from you.
This tainted love you've given, I give you all a boy could give you.
Take my tears and that's not nearly all, 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.
You need someone to hold you tight, you think love is to pray,
But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way.
Once I ran to you; now I run from you.
This tainted love you've given, I give you all a boy could give you.
Take my tears and that's not nearly all, 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.
LONG HARD ROAD OUT OF HELL
I want to fly into your 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 want to live, I want to love, but it's a long hard road out of hell.
You never said forever could ever hurt like this.
Spin my way out of hell, there's nothing left, a soul to sell.
I live fast and die fast too, how many times I'll do this for you?
Mary, Mary, to be this young I'm oh so scared.
I want to live, I want to love, but its a long hard road out of hell.
You never said forever could ever hurt like this.
Sell my soul for anything, anything but you.
