[Intro]
Bands of kids running up and down the street
Just beating people and throwing bottles at them
Playing god (x27)

[Refrain]
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Revelations come in twelve, I'll say it again
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Revelations come in twelve, I'll say it again

[Verse 1]
And you will burn in a town with no firemen
Just playing with matches and praying to ashes
Too stupid to call themselves evil
Too stupid to call themselves evil
So they call themselves heroes

[Pre-Chorus]
This is the time for US!
This is the time for US!

[Chorus]
We'll paint the town red, we'll paint the town red
With the blood of the tourists
We'll paint the town red, we'll paint the town red
With the blood of the tourists

[Refrain]
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Revelations come in twelve, I'll say it again
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Revelations come in twelve, I'll say it again

[Verse 2]
Traitors and betrayers
This fucking game has no fucking players
Traitors and betrayers
This fucking game has no fucking players

[Pre-Chorus]
"You got something to say, now?"
"You got something to say, now?"
This is the time for US!
This is the time for US!

[Chorus]
We'll paint the town red, we'll paint the town red
With the blood of the tourists
We'll paint the town red, we'll paint the town red
With the blood of the tourists

[Refrain]
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Revelations come in twelve, I'll say it again
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Revelations come in twelve, I'll say it again
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Revelations come in twelve, I'll say it again

[Outro]
You're welcome
You're welcome
You're welcome
You're fucking welcome

You're welcome
You're welcome
You're welcome
You're fucking welcome

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
