[Verse 1]
Guilt is a snake we beat with a rake
To grow in our kitchens, in the pies we bake
Feed it to us to squirm in our bellies
Twisting our guts, melt our spines to jelly

[Pre-Chorus]
Stay!
Hey, don't wanna go now!
Stay!

[Verse 2]
Drove the children from their chores
Handcrafted housewives into whores
Fear of the beast is calling it near
Creating what we're hating, only fear that is here

[Pre-Chorus]
Stay!
Hey, don't wanna go now!
Stay!

[Chorus]
Come into our home, won't you stay?
I know the steak is cold, but it's wrapped in plastic
Come into our home, won't you stay?
But it's wrapped in plastic

[Bridge]
I'm only as deep as the self that I dig
I'm only as sick as the stick in the pig
"Thin and so white, thin and so white"
Daddy tells the daughter, mommy's sleeping at night
Wash away sin, take off your skin
The righteous father wears the yellowest grin
"Don't wanna go, now"

[Pre-Chorus]
Stay!
Hey, don't wanna go now!
Stay!

[Chorus]
Come into our home, won't you stay?
I know the steak is cold, but it's wrapped in
Come into our home, won't you stay?
But I know the steak is cold, but I know it's wrapped in plastic
Come into our home, won't you stay?
I know the steak is cold, but it's wrapped in
Come into our home, won't you stay?
But it's wrapped in plastic

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
