Lyrics

Miller: I've got a gun in my hand and I feel like a man
        I'm the pope of my generation
        I've gotta push myself over your goddamn walls
        I don't listen to your condemnation

        Can't you see the pain that you bring
        Is only the cause of everything
        That you wish to stop and bring to an end
        But it only makes me hate you more

Manson: Careful what you wish for
        It can only bring you down
        Keep your spirit on the ground
        Emptiness the only sound

Miller: I know what it takes to break you
        And I'll kill everything that made you
Manson: I know what it takes to break you down

Miller: Take everything that you tried to teach me
        It don't add up to a pile of shit
        All the methods you used as you tried to reach me
        They don't matter not a single bit

        I'm alright inside, I'm just trying to hide
        From all the propaganda you want to choked me with
        Keep your face away, keep your hands away
Miller: Don't want your fingers in and out of my life
Manson: Don't want your fingers in and out of my life

Miller: I know what it takes to break you
Manson: I know what it takes to break you down
Miller: And I'll kill everything that made you
Manson: I know what it takes to break you down

Manson: I know what it takes to break you
        And I'll kill everything that made you

Miller: I know what it takes to break you
Manson: I know what it takes to break you down
Miller: And I'll kill everything that made you
Manson: I know what it takes to break you down

Miller: I know what it takes to break you
Manson: I know what it takes to break you down
Miller: And I'll kill everything that made you
Manson: I know what it takes to break you down
