[Verse 1]
And then I found how to be what you want
When I was out looking for something new
Digging too deep and now it’s too late
We just keep on breaking the same old ground
Breaking the same old ground

[Chorus]
So you think that I asked for this?
Let me show you what I think of your lips
And you think that I asked for this?
Come on, use your fists

[Verse 2]
And then I found how to be what you want
When I was out looking for something new
Digging too deep and now it’s too late
We just keep on breaking the same old ground
Breaking the same old ground
We just keep on breaking the same old ground

[Chorus]
So you think that I asked for this?
Let me show you what I think of your lips
And you think that I asked for this?
Come on, use your fists

[Verse 2]
Then I found how to be what you want
When I was out looking for something new
Digging too deep and now it’s too late
We just keep on breaking the same old ground
We just keep on breaking the same old ground

[Outro]
I am owned by death
And I am in love with oblivion
I am owned by death
And I-
And I am in love with oblivion

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.
