[Verse 1]
I could give you a dozen fresh, cut, pink, or red, or white
I wonder if they knew what they would grow to become
I could give you a dozen fresh cut pink or red or white
I wonder if they knew what they would grow to become

[Refrain]
Become, become, become, become
Be-be-become
Become, become, become, become
Be-be-become

[Verse 2]
You'll have to cut it down and burn me into splinters
Or I'll unwrap the string that was me, from your finger
And I'll hang you in your bedroom burial ground

[Chorus]
There is a taste for blood
And it's something deep inside
There is a taste for blood
And it's deep inside

[Refrain]
Become, become, become, become
Be-be-become
Become, become, become, become
Be-be-become

[Verse 3]
I don't ever want God to hear our screams
And mistake them for prayers
And you know I'm loaded, but not which chamber
Touch me and I'll go click, click, click, click, click
Click, click, click, click, click
Click, click, click, click, click

[Chorus]
There is a taste for blood
And it's something deep inside
There is a taste for blood
And it's deep inside

[Refrain]
Become, become, become, become
Be-be-become
Become, become, become, become
Be-be-become

[Bridge]
And you know I'm loaded, but not which chamber
Touch me and I'll go click, click, click, click, click
Click, click, click, click, click
Click, click, click, click, click

[Outro]
I'm born villain, don't pretend to be a victim
I'm born villain, don't pretend to be a victim
I'm born villain, don't pretend to be a victim
I'm born villain, don't pretend to be a victim
I'm born villain, don't pretend to be a victim
I'm born villain, don't pretend to be a victim

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
