[Verse 1]
"Got a crush on a pretty pistol
Should I tell her that I feel this way?
Father told us to be faithful"
"Got a crush on a pretty pistol
Should I tell her that I feel this way?
Got love songs in my head, killing us away"

[Chorus]
"Do you love your guns?" (Yeah!)
"God?" (Yeah!)
"The government?"
"Do you love your guns?" (Yeah!)
"God?" (Yeah!)
"The government?" (Fuck yeah!)

Got love songs in my head
Killing us away
Got love songs in my head
Killing us away

An imitation Christ
Got love songs in my head, killing us away!"

Marilyn Manson

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
