[Verse 1]
Do you or don't you want this to be your song?
It doesn't take a rebel to sing along
This art is weak in its pretty, pretty frame
And I am your monkey with a misspelled name

[Pre-Chorus]
"I'll put down you disco and take your heart away"
"I'll put down you disco and take your heart away"
I'll be born again

[Chorus]
I'm someone else, I'm someone new
I'm someone stupid just like you
I'm someone else, I'm someone new
I'm someone stupid just like you

[Verse 2]
Do you or don't you want to take this hit?
Does it make you feel like you're part of "it"?

[Pre-Chorus]
"I'll put down you disco and take your heart away"
"I'll put down you disco and take your heart away"
I'll be born again

[Chorus]
I'm someone else, I'm someone new
I'm someone stupid just like you
I'm someone else, I'm someone new
I'm someone stupid just like you
I'm someone else, I'm someone new
I'm someone stupid just like you
I'm someone else, I'm someone new
I'm someone stupid just like you

[Bridge]
The valley of the dolls is the valley of the dead
The valley of the dolls is the valley of the dead

[Chorus]
I'm someone else, I'm someone new
I'm someone stupid just like you
I'm someone else, I'm someone new
I'm someone stupid just like you

[Outro]
"I'll put down you disco and take your heart away"
"I'll put down you disco and take your heart away"
I'll be born again, I'll be born again
I'll be born again, I'll be born again

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
