[Verse 1]
Look at me now, got no religion
Look at me now, I'm so vacant
Look at me now, I was a virgin
Look at me now, grew up to be a whore

[Refrain]
And I want it, I believe it

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a million different things
And not one you know

[Chorus]
Hey, and our mommies are lost now
Hey, daddy's someone else
Hey, and we love the abuse
Because it makes us feel like we are needed now
But I know I wanna disappear

[Post-Chorus]
Disappear
I wanna disappear
Disappear, baby

[Verse 2]
Wanna die young, sell my soul
Use up all your drugs, make me come
Yesterday, man, I was a nihilist
Now today I'm just too fucking bored

[Refrain]
And I want it, I believe it
And I want it

[Pre-Chorus]
By the time I'm old enough
I won't know anything at all

[Chorus]
Hey, and our mommies are lost now
Hey, daddy's someone else
Hey, and we love the abuse
Because it makes us feel like we are needed now
But I know I wanna disappear

[Post-Chorus]
Disappear
I wanna disappear, baby
Disappear

[Chorus]
Hey, and our mommies are lost now
Hey, daddy's someone else
Hey, and we love the abuse
Because it makes us feel like we are needed now
But I know I wanna disappear

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
