[Verse 1]
And I'm a black rainbow, and I'm an ape of god
I've got a face that's made for violence upon
And I'm a teen distortion, survived abortion
A rebel from the waist down

[Refrain]
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 2]
I wanna thank you mom, I wanna thank you dad
For bringing this fucking world to a bitter end
I never really hated the one true God
But the God of the people I hated

[Chorus]
You said you wanted evolution
The ape was a great, big hit
You say you want a revolution, man
And I say that you're full of shit

[Post-Chorus]
We're disposable teens
We're disposable teens
We're disposable teens
We're disposable
We're disposable teens
We're disposable teens
We're disposable teens
We're disposable

[Chorus]
You said you wanted evolution
The ape was a great, big hit
You say you want a revolution, man
And I say that you're full of shit

[Refrain]
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah

[Bridge]
The more that you fear us, the bigger we get
The more that you fear us, the bigger we get
And don't be surprised, don't be surprised
Don't be surprised when we destroy all of it

[Refrain]
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus]
You said you wanted evolution
The ape was a great, big hit
You say you want a revolution, man
And I say that you're full of shit
Yeah yeah yeah
You said you wanted evolution
The ape was a great, big hit
You say you want a revolution, man
And I say that you're full of shit
Yeah yeah yeah

[Post-Chorus]
We're disposable teens
We're disposable teens
We're disposable teens
We're disposable
We're disposable teens
We're disposable teens
We're disposable teens
We're disposable

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
