[Verse 1]
I wake up every day on the wrong side of the bed
I won't lay down on the floor like I'm the whore in your head
Call me a failure, pretender, sex-offender, infector
Say I killed all my friends and I deserve to be dead

[Pre-Chorus]
Kiss, baby, kiss! Bang, baby, bang!
Suck, baby, suck, it's Vodevil
Kiss, baby, kiss! Bang, baby, bang!
Suck, baby, suck, it's Vodevil

[Chorus]
This isn't music, and we're not a band
We're five middle fingers on a motherfucking hand!
This isn't music, and we're not a band
We're five middle fingers on a motherfucking hand!

[Verse 2]
I won't pull out, I just came, I want all of the blame
Your love is tin, faith is thin, no concept of pain, right to complain
All you fagazines, senile teens jaw me, black-ball me, deejay yourself away
Turn your back, it will be easier to stab

[Pre-Chorus]
Kiss, baby, kiss! Bang, baby, bang!
Suck, baby, suck, it's Vodevil
Kiss, baby, kiss! Bang, baby, bang!
Suck, baby, suck, it's Vodevil

[Chorus]
This isn't music, and we're not a band
We're five middle fingers on a motherfucking hand!
This isn't music, and we're not a band
We're five middle fingers on a motherfucking hand!

[Bridge]
V.I.P, A.D.D, T.R.D, violent shiny hate crime
"Total Requested Dead", it's version point (less)
(Downloadable suicide)
The only ones left standing are the ones not demanding
This isn't a show, this is my fucking life
I'm not ashamed, you're entertained
But I'm not a puppet, I am a grenade
I'm not ashamed, you're entertained
But I'm not a puppet, I am a grenade

[Pre-Chorus]
Kiss, baby, kiss! Bang, baby, bang!
Suck, baby, suck, it's Vodevil
Kiss, baby, kiss! Bang, baby, bang!
Suck, baby, suck, it's Vodevil

[Chorus]
This isn't music, and we're not a band
We're five middle fingers on a motherfucking hand!
This isn't music, and we're not a band
We're five middle fingers on a motherfucking hand!
This isn't music, and we're not a band
We're five middle fingers on a motherfucking hand!
This isn't music, and we're not a band
We're five middle fingers on a motherfucking hand!

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
