"Kinderfeld" is the eleventh track on the 1996 release Antichrist Superstar. Its lyrics were inspired by Manson's discovery as a child that his grandfather would masturbate in his basement while his toy train set would be running ("When he turns the trains on he unties all of the strings").
In the album booklet, the lyrics are strangely indented, while all other songs lyrics are typed in a typical fashion.

Lyrics
He lives inside my mouth And tells me what to say When he turns the trains on He makes it go away The hands are cracked and dirty And the nails are beetle wings When he turns the trains on He unties all of the strings [The worm]: "Tell me something beautiful, Tell me something free, Tell me something beautiful And I wish that I could be." (Then I got my wings and i never even knew it, When I was a worm, thought I couldn't... get through it) [Jack]: Come... Come... The toys all smell like children And scab-knees will obey I'll have to kneel on broomsticks just to make it go away. [The inauguration of the worm] (Then I got my wings and i never even knew it, When I was a worm, thought I couldn't get through it) [A voice we have not yet heard]: "Because... today is black Because... there is no turning back Because... your lies have watered me I have... become the strongest weed" "Because... today is black Because... there is no turning back Because... your lies have watered me I have... become the strongest weed"
[Through Jack's eyes]: The taste of metal, Disintegrator: Three holes upon the leather belt It's cut and swollen And the age is showing [Boy]: "There's no one here to save ourselves" [The disintegrator (to himself)]: This is what you should fear You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear You are what you should fear
This is what you should fear You are what you should fear
