So f*ck your Bible and your Babel
Make a psalm into my dirty bomb
So dance, motherfucker, dance
Racing through red lights

I'm unstable, I'm not a show horse
I can't be bridled, of course
I'm outstanding, I'm unregretted
I got tattooed in reverse 
Woah, in reverse

You can't play this game and host all the pieces
Hold your breath and just wait
Someone else will pay for your sins
Not convinced by the cast to the same
My goddamned puppeteers

Woah! 
Woah!

I'm unstable, I'm not a show horse
I can't be bridled, of course
I'm outstanding, unregretted
I got tattooed in reverse
Woah, got tattooed in reverse
Woah, in reverse

Your confession means nothing
So f*ck your attrition
There ain't nothing in my hourglass
Just sands from the Dead Sea
And I'm aiming my weapon
And I'm aiming my weapon

Your confession means nothing
So f*ck your attrition
There ain't nothing in my hourglass
Just sands from the Dead Sea
And I'm aiming my weapon

f*ck your Bible and your Babel
Make a psalm into my dirty bomb
So dance, motherfucker, dance
Racing through red lights

So f*ck your Bible and your Babel
Make a psalm into my dirty bomb
So dance, motherfucker, dance
Racing through red lights

I'm unstable, I'm not a show horse
I can't be bridled, of course
I'm outstanding, I'm unregretted
I got tattooed in reverse
I got tattooed in reverse

Marilyn Manson

Brian Hugh Warner (born January 5, 1969), better known by his stage name Marilyn Manson, is an American rock musician and former music journalist known for his controversial stage persona and image as the lead singer of the eponymous band Marilyn Manson. His stage name was formed from juxtaposing the names of two American cultural icons, namely actress Marilyn Monroe and multiple murder convict Charles Manson as a critical and, simultaneously, laudatory appraisal of America and its peculiar culture. The seemingly outrageous visual and vocal styles he employs, his unique interpretations of familiar songs and the controversy surrounding his lyrics and imagery have led to his very pronounced public appeal. more »
