[Intro]
I said, "goddamn your righteous hand"
Goddamn your righteous hand

[Verse 1]
I eat innocent meat
The housewife, I will beat
The pro-life, I will kill
What you won't do, I will

I bash myself to sleep
What you sow, I will reap
I scar myself, you see
I wish I wasn't me

I am the little stick
You stir me into shit
I hate, therefore I am
Goddamn your righteous hand

[Pre-Chorus]
Goddamn
Goddamn
Goddamn
Goddamn

[Chorus]
Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak (Goddamn!)
But your selective judgments and good guy badges
Don't mean a fuck to me (Goddamn!)

[Verse 2]
I throw a little fit
I slit my teenage wrists
The most that I can learn
Is in records that you burn

[Refrain]
Get your gunn
Get your gunn
Get your gunn
Get your gunn

[Chorus]
Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak (Goddamn!)
But your selective judgments and good guy badges
Don't mean a fuck to me (Goddamn!)

Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak (Goddamn!)
But your selective judgments and good guy badges
Don't mean a fuck to me (Goddamn!)

[Bridge]
I am the VHS
Record me with your fist
You want me to save the world
I'm just a little girl

[Interlude, Reversed]
Pro-life Christians should save the world by killing themselves
Now

[Chorus]
Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak (Goddamn!)
But your selective judgments and good guy badges
Don't mean a fuck to me (Goddamn!)

Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak (Goddamn!)
But your selective judgments and good guy badges
Don't mean a fuck to me (Goddamn!)

[Refrain]
Get your gunn
Get your gunn

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
