Lyrics
In space the stars are no nearer They just glitter like a morgue And I dreamed I was a spaceman Burned like a moth in a flame And our world was so fucking gone But I'm not attached to your world Nothing heals and nothing grows Cause it's a great big white world And we are drained of our colors We used to love ourselves, We used to love one another All my stitches itch My prescription's low, I wish you Were queen Just for today In a world so white what else could I say? And hell was so cold All the vases are so broken And the roses tear our hands all open Mother Mary miscarry But we pray just like insects The world is so ugly now Cause it's a great big white world And we are drained of our colors We used to love ourselves, We used to love one another All my stitches itch My prescription's low, I wish you Were queen Just for today In a world so white what else could I say?
Trivia
- Before the release of the album, a number of groups raised concerns about "Great Big White World" possibly being a racially-motivated reference until Manson himself cleared up the rumors by stating that it was about cocaine.
