[Intro]
And the world spreads its legs
And the world spreads its legs
For another fuckin' star!
'Cause I am the all-American Antichrist
I was made in America
And America hates me for what I am, I am your shit
You should be ashamed of what you have eaten
I'm a rock 'n' roll nigg​er!

[Verse 1]
Baby was a black sheep, baby was a whore
Baby's gotten big and baby's getting bigger
Baby got somethin', baby want more
Baby, baby, baby was a rock 'n' roll nigg​er

[Pre-Chorus]
How do you like the world around you?
Do you like what you see?
How do you like the world around you?
Ready to be?

[Chorus]
Outside of society, waiting for me
Outside of society, is where I wanna be

[Verse 2]
Baby was a black sheep, baby was a whore
Baby got big and baby's getting bigger
Baby got a gun, got her finger on the trigger
Baby, baby, baby was a rock 'n' roll nigg​er

[Chorus]
Outside of society, waiting for me
Outside of society, is where I wanna be

[Bridge]
Nigg​er, rock 'n' roll nigg​er
I'm a rock 'n' roll nigg​er
This is your world in which we grow
And we will grow to hate you
We will grow to hate you
We will grow, we will grow
We will grow to hate you
We will grow, we will grow
We will grow to hate you
One, two, three, four!

[Verse 3]
I was lost in the valley of pleasure
I was lost in the infinite sea
I was lost and begging for pleasure
And this world is waiting for me

[Verse 4]
Jimi Hendrix was a nigg​er
Jesus Christ and grandma, too
Brian Warner, what a nigg​er
Nigg​er, nigg​er, nigg​er, nigg​er, nigg​er!

[Chorus]
Outside of society, waiting for me
Outside of society, is where I wanna be
Outside of society, waiting for me
Outside of society, is where I wanna be

[Outro]
Yeah! Yeah!
Fuck you! Fuck you!
No, fuck you! Fuck you!

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
