[Verse]
The Abraham Lincoln town cars arrive
To dispose of our king and queen
They orchestrated dramatic new scene
For Celebritarian needs
When one world ends, something else begins
But without a scream
Just a whisper, because we just
Start it over again

[Spoken]
Do you love your guns, your God and your government?
Let me hear you! (Hey!)
Do you love your guns and your God and your government?
Let me hear you, goddamn it! (Hey!)
Do you love your guns and your God and your government?
Let me hear you! (Hey!)
Your mother and your father and your baby?
Goddamn it, let me hear you! (Hey!)
Do you love your guns?
I want your mothers and your fathers to hear you say it! (Hey!)
Every single one of you motherfuckers
Let me hear it from you! (Hey!)
Do you love your guns and your God and your government?
(Hey!)
I wanna hear it from everybody
I wanna hear you say you want a gun
Let me hear it! (Hey!)

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
