"We're from America" is a track from Marilyn Manson's 2009 release The High End of Low. Its title was revealed on March 18, 2009, in the week's issue of Kerrang!. The article erroneously states that the song was released during the second week of March 2009, however this did not actually happen until March 27, when it was released for free as a 320kbps MP3. It is scheduled to be reissued as a digital single on April 7, 2009.
Music details
In the March 18, 2009 issue of Kerrang!, Marilyn Manson said of the song that "I think a lot of people will hear the track and initially think it's just political, but it's not just that, it's also me describing a lot of fucked-up scenarios that I'm going through in my personal life. Someone asked me, 'Why are you so fucked up?', 'Well, I am from America.' I hate the fact that so many people have fucked the country up, and so many people fucked up my personal life and I allowed it to happen. So in a way, I feel like America as a whole feels, but in no way does that make me a tree-hugging patriotic freedom rocker."
In response to this interview, Rudy Coby, who earlier gave a brief explanation of "Devour", said about the song on his MySpace profile, "I love the song but it doesn't sound like any other song on the album - it was the one I said he played eleventh or twelveth almost as an afterthought. [...] It's one part of a journey - but it isn't giving away the game. I totally understand why Kerrang would want this as their special preview download though - everyone is reevaluating our country right now and this song is "America the (Un)Beautiful" and doesn't take any fucking shit."
