[Pre-Chorus]
So fuck your bible and your Babel
I made this psalm into my dirty bomb
So dance, motherfucker, dance
Racing to a red light

[Chorus]
I'm un-stabled, I'm not a show horse
I can't be bridled, of course
I'm un-scabbed and un-regretted
I got tattooed in reverse
Woah, in reverse

[Verse]
You can't play this game, you've lost all the pieces
Hold your breath and just wait
(I'm sure) Someone else will pay for your sins
But I'm not convinced by your costume
This ain't my goddamn cup of tears

[Chorus]
I'm un-stabled, I'm not a show horse
I can't be bridled, of course
I'm un-scabbed and un-regretted
I got tattooed in reverse
Woah, got tattooed in reverse
Woah, in reverse

[Bridge]
Your confession means nothing
So fuck your attrition
There ain't nothing in my hourglass
Just sand from a dead sea
And I made it my weapon
And I made it my weapon

Your confession means nothing
So fuck your attrition
There ain't nothing in my hourglass
Just sand from a dead sea
And I made it my weapon

[Pre-Chorus]
Fuck your bible and your Babel
I made this psalm into my dirty bomb
So dance, motherfucker, dance
Racing to a red light

So fuck your bible and your Babel
I made this psalm into my dirty bomb
So dance, motherfucker, dance
Racing to a red light

[Chorus]
I'm un-stabled, I'm not a show horse
I can't be bridled, of course
I'm un-scabbed and un-regretted
I got tattooed in reverse
Oh! Oh, oh, oh
I got tattooed in reverse

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
