Music video
The music video, directed by Wiz, features the band performing on stage at a football game. The teams are typical "jocks" and "goths" and according to the billboard in the background, are Holy Wood vs. Death Valley, a reference to the album featuring the track, Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death). Though it starts out as a basic football game it takes a destructive turn as a player throws a ball at the score board causing a small explosion, after that Death Valley players begin cutting down the goal post and setting it a flame as the music video ends. As a side note, the billboard behind the band performing reads "We're all HAPPY To live in America" and all the Death Valley players have the number 00 on their uniforms (including Manson having it painted to his back).
Lyrics
Nothing suffocates you more than the passing of everyday human events Isolation is the oxygen mask you make your children breath into survive But I'm not a slave to a god that doesn't exist I'm not a slave to a world that doesn't give a shit And when we were good you just closed your eyes So when we are bad we'll scar your minds fight, fight, fight, fight You'll never grow up to be a big-rock-star-celebrated-victim-of-your-fame They'll just cut our wrists like cheap coupons and say that death was on sale today And when we were good you just closed your eyes So when we are bad we'll scar your minds But I'm not a slave to a god that doesn't exist I'm not a slave to a world that doesn't give a shit the death of one is a tragedy but the death of millions is just a statistic. But I'm not a slave to a god that doesn't exist I'm not a slave to a world that doesn't give a shit fight, fight, fight, fight
