[Verse]
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody looking for something

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

[Verse]
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody looking for something

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you

[Chorus]
I gonna use you and abuse you
I gonna know what's inside you

[Bridge]
Movin' on (Hold your head up)
Movin' on (Keep your head up)
Movin' on (Hold your head up)
Movin' on
Movin' on
Movin' on
Movin' on

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse: Marilyn Manson & Crowd]
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody looking for something

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

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
