[Verse 1]
When I see you in the sun
You're as pretty as a swastika
Take you down, down from the inside
Take you down, down from the inside

I want to smash into your face, like a plane
And drown in between your legs
Take you down, down from the inside
Take you down, down from the inside

I'd die for your sins
If you don't kill me while I'm trying, baby

[Chorus]
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
There's more than one way to make you cry

[Verse 2]
When I see you in the sun
You're as pretty as a swastika
When I see you in the sun
You're as pretty as a swastika

Take you down, down from the inside
Take you down, down from the inside
One of us is a knife
One of us is ripe, baby

[Chorus]
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
There's more than one way to make you cry

Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
Let me show you where it hurts
There's more than one way to make you cry

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
