[Verse 1]
We are the things of shapes to come
Your freedom's not free and dumb, this Depression is Great
The Deformation Age, they know my name
Waltzing to scum and base, and married to the pain

Bang, we want it, bang, we want it
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang

[Pre-Chorus]
You came to see the mobscene
I know it isn't your scene
It's better than a sex scene
And it's so fucking obscene, obscene, yeah

(Ladies and gentlemen)

[Verse 2]
The day that love opened our eyes, we watched the world end
We have high places, but we have no friends
They told us sin's not good, but we know it's great
War-time, full-frontal drugs, sex-tank armor

Bang, we want it, bang, we want it
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang

[Pre-Chorus]
You came to see the mobscene
I know it isn't your scene
It's better than a sex scene
And it's so fucking obscene, obscene, yeah

[Chorus]
You want commitment? Put on your best suit
Get your arms around me, now we're going down, down, down
You want commitment? Put on your best suit
Get your arms around me, now we're going down, down, down

[Post-Chorus]
Down
Down
Down

[Bridge]
You came to see the mobscene
I know it isn't your scene
It's better than a sex scene
And it's so fucking obscene, obscene, yeah

[Chorus]
You want commitment? Put on your best suit
Get your arms around me, now we're going down, down, down
You want commitment? Put on your best suit
Get your arms around me, now we're going down, down, down

You want commitment? Put on your best suit
Get your arms around me, now we're going down, down, down
You want commitment? Put on your best suit
Get your arms around me, now we're going down, down, down

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
