[Verse 1]
Hey, there's no rules today
You steal instead of borrow
You take all the shapes that I make
And think that you think all the thoughts
That I thought you, don't you?

Mutilation's the most sincere form of flattery
If you want to be me
Then stand in line like the rest
Now, do you know what I mean?

[Chorus]
The young get less bolder
The legends get older, but I stay the same
As long as you have less to say
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you

Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you too
Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you too
Do you really think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you

[Verse 2]
Rebels without applause
I sell my shadow to those who are standing in it
They think I would bitch about them
Thinking they are the shit
When they can't even step in it

[Chorus]
The young get less bolder
The legends get older, but I stay the same
As long as you have less to say
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you too

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
The young get less bolder
The legends get older, but I stay the same
As long as you have less to say
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you

[Interlude]
Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you too

[Chorus]
The young get less bolder
The legends get older, but I stay the same
As long as you have less to say
Do you think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you

Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you too
Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you too
Do you really think that I wouldn't say this?
You know that I play this better than you

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
