[Intro]
I can stick a needle in the horror and fix your blindness
(Your blindness, see I)
See, I was a snake
But I didn't realize that you could walk on water (I didn’t)
Without legs
(Walk on water without legs)
Now I'm a bee, the king bee
And I will destroy every flower (I will destroy every flower)
And I will cover the earth in honey (Cover the earth in honey)
And everyone will eat themselves
(And everyone will eat themselves)
My eyes are mirrors
All I can see are gods on the left
And demons on the right

[Verse 1]
Set fire to the tree of life
Not for death
Just to watch the suffering
Get high on the smoke and dance
In the ashes

[Refrain]
This arrangement is deranged
Imagine us engaged in flames
This arrangement is deranged
Imagine us engaged in flames

[Chorus]
Red, black and I'm blue
Red, black and I’m blue
Red, black and I'm blue
Red
Black
And I'm blue

[Post-Chorus]
Am I garbage or God?
Am I garbage or God?
Church or a trashcan?
Either way you're a waste of my time

[Refrain]
This arrangement is deranged (Deranged)
Imagine us engaged in flames
This arrangement is deranged
Imagine us engaged in flames

[Verse 2]
Heroes destroy
Murder without a choice
Just linear fucking lines

[Chorus]
('Cause I'm) Red, black and I'm blue
Red, black and I'm blue

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I garbage or God?
Am I garbage or God?
Church or a trashcan?
Either way you’re a waste of my time
Am I garbage or God?
Am I garbage or God?
Church or a trashcan?
Either way you’re a waste of my time

[Chorus]
Red, black and I'm blue

[Bridge]
Sick-sick-sick of you
And all your attitudes
And I’m sick-sick-sick of you
Sick-sick-sick of you
And all your attitudes
And I'm sick from you
And I'm sick from you

[Outro]
'Cause I’m red, black, blue
(Am I garbage or God? Am I garbage or God?)
(Church or a trashcan?)
I'm red, black and I'm blue
(Either way you're a waste of my time)
I'm red, black and I'm blue
(Am I garbage or God? Am I garbage or God?)
(Church or a trashcan?)
I'm red, black and I'm blue
(Either way you're a waste of my time)
I'm red, black and I'm blue

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
