− | === Albums === | + | "It doesn't take a rebel to sing along," sneers Manson in this slashing little number about mass-mind behavior and doing as the crowd does. Suck down the right drugs, buy feeble art in pretty frames, pretend you're in with the latest and coolest - same old shit. "I'm someone else, I'm someone new, I'm someone stupid just like you." In a line framed in quotes - usually to be read as a character voice in MM lyrics - he plays the brand-new-same-old star: "I'll burn down your disco/and take your heart away" - a play-threat of danger and pseudoviolence candy-wrapped in cheesy romance. Adam Kadmon, disheartened, castigates those who destroy the irreplaceable, reward mediocrity, and hardly seem able to tell the difference. |

− | + | * Apparently, Born Again was recorded at the same time as [[Irresponsible Hate Anthem]], [[Valentine's Day|February 14th]], 1997, despite the album being released in 2000. It is possible that this could have something to do with the story. | |
− | * | + | * In the book ''Art That Kills'' by George Petros a handwritten note with the ''Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)'' tracklist on "Born Again" was listed as "Valley of the Dolls". Apparently, this was the song's working title. |
