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.

I Don't Like The Drugs Lyrics
Marilyn Manson
norm life baby
"we're white and oh so hetero
And our sex is missionary."
Norm life baby
"we're quitters and we're sober
Our confessions will be televised."
You and i are underdosed and we're ready to fall
Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs
Norm life baby
"our god is white and unforgiving
We're piss tested and we're praying."
Norm life baby
"i'm just a sample of a soul
Made to look just like a human being."
Norm life baby
"we're rehabbed and we're ready
For our 15 minutes of shame."
Norm life baby
"we're talkshown and we're pointing
Just like christians at a suicide."
You and i are underdosed and we're ready to fall
Raised to be stupid, taught to be nothing at all
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs
"there's a hole in our soul that we fill with dope
And we're feeling fine."
I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me
I don't like the drugs, the drugs the drugs
