[Verse 1]
The ants are in the sugar, the muscles atrophied
We're on the other side, the screen is us, and we're TV
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

[Chorus]
Pray now, baby
Pray your life was just a dream
Just a dream

[Verse 2]
I have it all and I have no choice but to
I'll make everyone pay and you will see
Kill yourself now because you're dead in my mind
The boy that you loved is the monster you fear

[Chorus]
Pray now, baby
Pray your life was just a dream
Just a dream
The world in my hands
There's no one left to hear you scream
No one left for...

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Pray now, baby
Pray your life was just a dream
Just a dream
The world in my hands
There's no one left to hear you scream
No one left for...
The world in my hands
There's no one left to hear you scream
No one left for you
Pray now, baby
Pray your life was just a dream
Just a dream

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
