[Verse 1]
Your world is an ashtray, we burn and coil like cigarettes
The more you cry, your ashes turn to mud
The nature of the leeches, the virgin's feeling cheated
You've only spent a second of your life

[Refrain]
My world is unaffected
There is an exit here, I say it is and it's true
There is a dream inside a dream
I'm wide awake the more I sleep
You'll understand when I'm dead

[Pre-Chorus]
I went to God just to see
And I was looking at me, yeah
Saw heaven and hell were lies
When I'm God, everyone dies

[Chorus]
Scar, can you feel my power?
Shoot here, and the world gets smaller
Scar, scar, can you feel my power?
One shot, and the world gets smaller

[Verse 2]
Let's jump upon the sharp swords, cut away our smiles
Without the threat of death there's no reason to live, at all

[Refrain]
My world is unaffected
There is an exit here, I say it is and it's true
There is a dream inside a dream
I'm wide awake the more I sleep
You'll understand when I'm dead

[Pre-Chorus]
I went to God just to see
And I was looking at me
Saw Heaven and Hell were lies
When I'm God, everyone dies

[Chorus]
Scar, can you feel my power?
Shoot here and the world gets smaller
Scar, scar, can you feel my power?
One shot, and the world gets smaller
Scar, scar, can you feel my power?
Shoot here, and the world gets smaller
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherfucker
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherfucker

[Bridge]
Each thing I show you is a piece of my death
No salvation, no forgiveness
No salvation, no forgiveness
No salvation, no forgiveness
No salvation, no forgiveness
No salvation, no forgiveness (This is beyond your experience)
No salvation, no forgiveness
No salvation, no forgiveness (Forgiveness)
No salvation, no forgiveness (Forgiveness, forgiveness)
No salvation, no forgiveness (Forgiveness, forgiveness)
No salvation, no forgiveness (Forgiveness, forgiveness)
No salvation, no forgiveness (Forgiveness)

[Pre-Chorus]
I went to God just to see
And I was looking at me, yeah
Saw heaven and hell were lies
When I'm God, everyone dies

[Chorus]
Scar, can you feel my power?
Shoot here and the world gets smaller
Scar, scar, can you feel my power?
Shoot here, and the world gets smaller
Scar, scar, can you feel my power?
Shoot here and the world gets smaller
Scar, scar, can you feel my power?
One shot, and the world gets smaller

[Outro]
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherfucker
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherfucker
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherfucker
Shoot, shoot, shoot motherfucker

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
