[Verse 1]
Devil's got a cut like a slit in a cattle's calf
Dollar-sign snakes, I'm all in the damn
God-less, fearless of the flood
Or the blood of the coming Spring

Something is shedding its scales
Crying from the heat of the light
Or the empty shell on the stage
"And cash is the poor man's money"
"And cash is the poor man's money"

[Chorus]
You say "GOD" and I say "SAY10"
You say "GOD" and I say "SAY10"
Say, say, "SAY10"

[Verse 2]
Open your mouth, love
Like a gutted church
My goat horns are napalm trees
And a crown of thorns is hard to swallow

You should pray, now
Is it above or is it below?
You should pray, now
Is it above or is it below?

[Chorus]
You say "GOD" and I say "SAY10"
You say "GOD" and I say "SAY10"
Say, say, "SAY10"

You say "GOD" and I say "SAY10"
You say "GOD" and I say "SAY10"
Say, say, "SAY10"

[Bridge]
Cocaine and Abel, I don't baptize whores
I'm a legend, I'm not a fable
Cocaine and Abel, I don't baptize whores
I'm a legend, I'm not a fable
Cocaine and Abel, I don't baptize whores
I'm a legend, I'm not a fable

Oh, you should pray, now
Is it above or is it below?
You should pray, now
Is it above or is it below?

[Chorus]
You say "GOD" and I say "SAY10"
You say "GOD" and I say "SAY10"
Say, say, "SAY10"

You say "GOD", I say "SAY10"
You say "GOD" and I say "SAY10"
Say, say, "SAY10"

Say, say, "SAY10"
Say, say, "SAY10"

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
