"People Who Died" was performed live by Marilyn Manson during early shows, possibly in the Smells Like Children tour among others, as an intro for "My Monkey". The song was originally performed by the The Jim Carroll Band in 1980.
The second verse features a line from "Had a Dad" by Janes Addiction (which was not in the Jim Carroll version).

Lyrics
Had a little monkey, sent him to the country and I fed him on gingerbread Along came a choo-choo, knocked my monkey koo-koo and now my monkey's dead This song is for you my monkey, from me and my old friends Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died They were all my friends, and they died Had a dad, big and strong Turned around, and I found my daddy gone This song is for you, from me and my old friends Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died Those are people who died, died They were all my friends, and they died
