Lyrics

Hey, cruel world... You don't have what it takes
We don't need your faith, we got fucking fate
Hey, cruel world... You don't have what it takes
We don't need your faith, we got fucking fate

Creator, preserver, destroyer
Ask which one I am
There's no drugged-out devils or square-halo angels walking among us

I am among no one
I am among no one
I am among no one
No one

Hey, cruel world... You don't have what it takes
We don't need your faith, we got fucking fate
Fate, fate, fate

The center of the universe cannot exist when there are no, no edges
The center of the universe cannot exist when there are no, no edges

Hey, cruel world... You don't have what it takes
We don't need your faith, we got fucking fate
Fate, fate, fate

Fate

Fate, fate, fate
Fate, fate, fate

I am among no one
I am among no one
I am among no one
No one

Hey, cruel world... You don't have what it takes
We don't need your faith, we got fucking fate

Fate, fate, fate

Fate, fate, fate
Fate, fate, fate

Trivia

Your goddamn right
  • "Square-halo angels" references early Christian paintings of religious scenes, in which living persons, who often-times had commissioned the actual painting, were portrayed with a square-shaped halo.[1]
  • The lyric "creator, preserver, destroyer" is a reference to the three forms of the Hindu concept of Trimurti, personified by the gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, who are sequentially the gods of creation, preservation and destruction.[2]
  • Lyrics to the song can be found on a picture Manson uploaded in 2010 entitled "your goddamn right"
