[Verse 1]
I'm not of this world, you're not in this heart
This isn't in me
To open this box, you can't shoot the lock
I hide everything so you can't see

[Pre-Chorus]
Wanna fight? Wanna fuck?
Wanna die? Try your luck...
Lay down your goddamn arms
Wanna fight? Wanna fuck?
Wanna die? Try your luck...
Lay down your goddamn arms

[Chorus]
There isn't a key
You can use on me
There isn't a key
So lay down your arms
Arms
Arms
Arms

[Verse 2]
You're a book, every page is written in words
I cannot read
So I burn, gotta burn, gotta burn, gotta burn it
So I burn, gotta burn, gotta burn, gotta burn it

[Pre-Chorus]
Wanna fight? Wanna fuck?
Wanna die? Try your luck...
Lay down your goddamn arms
Wanna fight? Wanna fuck?
Wanna die? Try your luck...
Lay down your goddamn arms

[Chorus]
There isn't a key
You can use on me
There isn't a key
So lay down your arms

[Interlude]
There isn't a key
You can use on me
There isn't a key
So lay down your arms

[Outro]
Gotta burn, gotta burn, gotta burn, gotta burn it
Gotta burn, gotta burn, gotta burn, gotta burn it
Gotta burn, gotta burn, gotta burn, gotta burn it
Gotta burn, gotta burn, gotta burn, gotta burn it

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
