[Intro]
Haters call me "bitch", call me "faggot", call me "whitey"
But I'm something you can never be, hey!
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Won't look prettier if I smile for the picture
Motherfuckers never liked me then
And they sure won't like me now
Don't try to drag me down in your cliché
Your fake grin fits your faker face
I find all my pleasure in your misery, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll step on you on my way up
I'll step on you on my way down
I'll step on you on my way up
I'll step on you on my way down

[Chorus]
Haters call me "bitch", call me "faggot", call me "whitey"
But I am something that you'll never be, hey!
Haters call me "bitch", call me "faggot", call me "whitey"
But I am something that you'll never be, hey!

[Post-Chorus]
I'll be your scapegoat, I'll be your savior
I'm the better of two evils (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm the better of two evils (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm the better of two evils

[Verse 2]
I wanna hang all you cattle with your velvet rope
Motherfuckers step up and get into an orderly line
I'll show you how to make a muscle, takes less strength to grin
Than it does to spit on all you Paparazzinazi's, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll step on you on my way up
I'll fuckin' step on you on my way down

[Chorus]
Haters call me "bitch", call me "faggot", call me "whitey"
But I am something that you'll never be, hey!
Haters call me "bitch", call me "faggot", call me "whitey"
But I am something that you'll never be, hey!

[Post-Chorus]
I'll be your scapegoat, I'll be your savior
I'm the better of two evils (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm the better of two evils (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm the better of two evils

[Bridge]
Don't try to lead me to temptation
Don't try to lead me to temptation
Don't try to lead me to temptation
I've been delivered and I already know the way
Hey!

[Chorus]
Haters call me "bitch", call me "faggot", call me "whitey"
But I am something that you'll never be, hey!
Haters call me "bitch", call me "faggot", call me "whitey"
But I am something that you'll never be, hey!

[Post-Chorus]
I'll be your scapegoat, I'll be your savior
I'm the better of two evils (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm the better of two evils (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm the better of two evils (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

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
