Marilyn Manson, born Brian Hugh Warner, is the lead singer of the Los Angeles based alternative rock group of the same name. Warner chose the name, a combination of Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson, to illustrate what he considered to be the extreme dualism of late 20th century American culture. The stage name of each band member was originally created by combining the first name of an iconic female sex symbol and the last name of an iconic mass murderer or serial killer, though this naming convention has not extended to new band members after the mid-90s. Formed in 1989 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids, the band's uniquely theatrical performances gathered a local cult following that developed over time into a worldwide fanbase. By the late 1990s the band was considered one of modern music's most widely-known and controversial acts; this was due, in large part, to Manson's then-frequent clashes with religious and political groups.

Beautiful People Lyrics
Marilyn Manson
I don't want you and I don't need you
Don't bother to resist, Or I'll beat you
It's not your fault that you're always wrong
the weak ones are there to justify the strong.
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
it's all relative to the size of your steeple
you can't see the forest for the trees
and you can't smell your own shit on your knees
There's no time to discriminate, hate every motherfucker that's in your way
Hey you, what do you see?
something beautiful, something free?
hey you, are you trying to be mean?
you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean
(Ahh)
(Ahh)
the worms will live in every host
it's hard to pick which one they eat most
the horrible people, the horrible people
it's as anatomic as the size of your steeple
capitalism has made it this way,
old-fashioned fascism
will take it away
Hey you, what do you see?
something beautiful, something free?
hey you, are you trying to be mean?
you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean
There's a chance to discriminate,
hate every motherfucker that's in your way
The Beautiful People, The Beautiful People
The Beautiful People, The Beautiful People
Hey you, what do you see?
something beautiful, something free?
hey you, are you trying to be mean?
you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean
