[Verse 1]
We're from America, we're from America
Where we eat our young
We're from America, we're from America
It's where Jesus was born

We're from America, we're from America
Where they let you come on their faces
We're from America, we're from America
We speak 'American'

We don't believe in credibility
Because we know that we're fucking incredible
We don't believe in credibility
Because we know that we're fucking incredible

I wanna be a martyr, don't wanna be a victim
Be a killer with a god so they call me a hero
I wanna be a martyr, don't wanna be a victim
Be a killer with a god so they call me a hero

God is an excuse, God is an excuse
God is an excuse, God is an excuse
God is an excuse, God is an excuse
God is an excuse, so sing it with me

[Chorus]
We're from America, we're from America
We're from America, you can sing it with me
We're from America, we're from America
We're from America, you can sing it with me

We're from America

[Verse 2]
We don't like to kill our unborn
We need them to grow up and fight our wars
We don't like to kill our unborn
We need them to grow up and fight our wars

We believe in everything we say
And we say it because we believe it
We believe in everything we say
And we say it because we believe it

[Chorus]
We're from America, we're from America
We're from America, you can sing it with me
We're from America, we're from America
We're from America, you can sing it with me

We're from America, you can sing it with me
We're from America, you can sing it with me

[Bridge]
We're from America, we're from America
We turn literature into litter
We're from America, we're from America
We believe in 'being a quitter'

I'm in recovery
I'm in recovery
I'm in recovery

We're from America
We're from America
From America
So sing it with me

[Chorus]
We're from America, we're from America
We're from America, you can sing it with me
We're from America, we're from America
We're from America, you can sing it with me

We're from America, you can sing it with me
We're from America, you can sing it with me
We're from America, you can sing it with me
We're from America, you can sing it with me
We're from America, you can sing it with me
We're from America, you can sing it with me

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
