[Verse 1]
Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
There's nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there, too

[Chorus]
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell

[Verse 2]
No stop signs, speeding limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody gonna mess me round
Hey Satan, payed my dues
I'm playing in a rocking band
Hey mama, look at me
I'm on my way to the promise land

[Chorus]
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell

[Chorus]
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell

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
