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.

Marilyn Manson
Dear God do you want to tear your knuckles down
And hold yourself
Dear God can you climb up that tree
Meat in the shape of a t
Dear God the paper says you were the king
In the black limousine
Dear john and all the kings men
Cant put you head together again
Before the bullets
Before the flies
Before authorities take out my eyes
The only smiling are you dolls that I made
But you are plastic and so are your brains
Dear God the sky is as blue
As a gunshot wound
Dear God if you were alive
You know wed kill you
Before the bullets
Before the flies
Before authorities take out my eyes
The only smiling are you dolls that I made
But you are plastic and so are your brains
