[Intro]
Hey, cruel world...
You don't have what it takes
We don't need your faith
We've got fucking fate

Hey, cruel world...
You don't have what it takes
We don't need your faith
We've got fucking fate

[Verse 1]
Creator, preserver, destroyer
Ask which one I am
There's no drugged-out devils
Or square-halo angels walking among us

[Pre-Chorus]
I am among no one
I am among no one
I am among no one
No one

[Chorus]
Hey, cruel world...
You don't have what it takes
We don't need your faith
We've got fucking fate
Fate, fate, fate

[Verse 2]
The center of the universe cannot exist
When there are no, no edges
The center of the universe cannot exist
When there are no, no edges

[Chorus]
Hey, cruel world...
You don't have what it takes
We don't need your faith
We've got fucking fate
Fate, fate, fate

[Bridge]
Fate, fate, fate
Fate, fate, fate

[Pre-Chorus]
I am among no one
I am among no one
I am among no one
No one

[Chorus]
Hey, cruel world...
You don't have what it takes
We don't need your faith
We've got fucking fate
Fate, fate, fate
Fate, fate, fate
Fate, fate, fate

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
