[Verse 1]
Would our Gods have left our grubsteaks cold
As advertised in Revelation?
Glass jaw opens like a puppet head
Sing the lullabies of iconography
Sipping napalm, watching Jackie-O
Scoop Johnny’s memories in her bony hands

[Chorus]
Violence for the people
They always eat the hand that bleeds
Fascism for the people
Kill the King and break his wings
Violence for the people
They always eat the hand that bleeds
Fascism for the people
Kill the King and break his wings

[Verse 2]
We stuck our snouts in stagnant troughs
In love with Auschwitz
We applauded performance art at Helter Skelter

[Chorus]
Violence for the people
They always eat the hand that bleeds
Fascism for the people
Kill the King and break his wings

[Bridge]
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear

[Chorus]
Violence for the people
They always eat the hand that bleeds
Fascism for the people
Kill the King and break his wings

[Verse 3]
Where are all the puritans come to wash our hands?
Cute boys cry and shit their pants
Saturday morning suicide

[Interlude]
The King and break his wings
Kill the King and break his wings
Kill the King and break his wings
Kill the King and break his wings

[Chorus]
Violence for the people
They always eat the hand that bleeds
Fascism for the people
Kill the King and break his wings
Violence for the people
They always eat the hand that bleeds
Fascism for the people
Kill the King and break his wings

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
