[[File:F33.jpg|thumbnail|right|200px|The song's chorus, scrawled on a door in a Facebook upload.]]

Hey, cruel world. . .
+
* A portion of the song's chorus can be seen in a 2010 Facebook photo entitled "your goddamn right."
You don't have what it takes
+
* "Square-halo angels" references early Christian paintings of religious scenes, in which living persons, who often-times had commissioned the actual painting, were portrayed with a square-shaped halo.<ref>[http://mb-soft.com/believe/txw/halo.htm Christian Halo, Nimbus]. BELIEVE Religious Information Source.</ref>
We don't need your faith.
+
* The lyric "creator, preserver, destroyer" references three ''I Ching'' trigrams. Respectively these are ''quán'' (☰), "the creative," ''kūn'' (☷), "the receptive" and ''zhèn'' (☳), "the arousing." ''Born Villain'' conceputalizes the archetypical villain, whom has the chance to change; with this line [[Marilyn Manson]] assumes the role of the destroyer in order to make the change. Creation, preservation and destruction are also the three forms in the Hindu concept of Trimurti.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimurti Trimurti]. Wikipedia.</ref>

Pistol Whipped (Pretty Cool)

You look so pretty

When you cry.
+
Don't wanna hit you

But the only thing,

Between our love is

(1) A bloody nose
+
(2) A busted lip
+
And
+
(3) A blackened eye

Overneath (Badass. With the shakespeare quote and all)
+
 
+
“And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
+
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
+
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
+
That struts and gets his hour upon the stage,
+
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
+
Told by and idiot, full of sound and fury,
+
Signifying nothing."
+

My pride?

Can I fuck myself down?

Why die.

The Gardener (Obsessively fetishize)
+
 
+
I'm not man enough to be human
+
But I'm trying to fit in
+
And I'm learning to fake it
+
 
+
Don't ever meet their friends
+
It tells you too much
+
Or not enough
+
Or worse
+
Exactly the wrong thing
+
Every nuance
+
Every detail
+
Every movement
+
Every smell
+
Sound
+
Phrase
+
The way she laughs
+
These are the things that you obsessively fetishize
+
Or make yourself grow to love
+
But you are supposed to be done growing
+
She is still growing
+
Its like a garden with two flowers
+
One just blocking and casting a shadow
+
Just like yours
+
Then it becomes a struggle
+
Of sunlight
+
Or rain
+
Or weeds
+
She and every she
+
Is doomed to be your idea of her
+
She and every she
+
Is doomed to be your idea of her

+
I'm not man enough to be human

But I'm trying to fit in

And I'm learning to fake it
+
Fa fa fa fa fake it

Fa fa fa fa fake it

Ffffffffffffffake it
+
 
+
But worse so,
+
Back to the point
+
You are no longer the flower
+
And the sun
+
And most importantly the garden
+
Or the gardener
+
A muse
+
Your amusement
+
I am used
+
Its all ruined if you meet their friends
+
 
+
She and every she
+
Is doomed to be your idea of her
+
I'm not man enough to be human
+
But I'm trying to fit in
+
And I'm learning to fake it
+
Fa fa fa fa fake it
+
Fa fa fa fa fake it

Ffffffffffffffake it

You never wanted
+
To share

Your concept of your creation
+
With any other gods or worshippers
+
Your book isn't burned

It was never written

Your book isn't burned

Sacrifice won't suffice

Resurrection needs your death

To happen twice

Into the sharpest, fucking sword

I see the way that you look in to it

I'll eat it and I'll cut my tongue
+
And all the pages you spread,

Sweet as honey you said

But I'm choking on your bitter stories

No Sineater to slay

Us Children of Cain

Watching monkey suicide

Murderers are getting shit on my pants (This song better have some good instrumentals and justify the title being so long. I think song is basically worshipped murderers before he kills a loved one)

I broke open the box
+
When I spoke the spell
+
I became

An entrance wound
+
To your bedroom grave,

and I was paid

With the shadow of consensual rape
+
Your ransom note
+
Is quoted by,
+
Your death and
+
Birth certificates
+
And all of your love,
+
And all of your love letters
+
Read just like my will

Fall on your knees

I hear the horrid voices

Of someone else's angels

Fall on your knees

Are getting Prettier

Lyrics[edit]

    Hey, cruel world…
    You don’t have what it takes
    We don’t need your faith.
    We’ve got fucking fate.


    Hey, cruel world…
    You don’t have what it takes
    We don’t need your faith.
    We’ve got fucking fate.


    Creator
    Preserver
    Destroyer
    Ask which one I am.
    There’s no drugged-out devils or
    Square-halo angels
    Walking among us.


    I am among no one
    I am among no one
    I am among no one
    No one


    Hey, cruel world…
    You don’t have what it takes
    We don’t need your faith.
    We’ve got fucking fate.
    Fate
    Fate
    Fate


    The center of the universe
    Cannot exist
    When there are no,
    No edges
    The center of the universe
    Cannot exist
    When there are no,
    No edges


    Hey, cruel world…
    You don’t have what it takes
    We don’t need your faith.
    We’ve got fucking fate.
    Fate
    Fate
    Fate


    Fate


    Fate, fate, fate
    Fate, fate, fate


    I am among no one
    I am among no one
    I am among no one
    No one


    Hey, cruel world…
    You don’t have what it takes
    We don’t need your faith.
    We’ve got fucking fate.
    Fate
    Fate
    Fate
    Fate
    Fate
    Fate


Trivia[edit]

The song's chorus, scrawled on a door in a Facebook upload.
  • A portion of the song's chorus can be seen in a 2010 Facebook photo entitled "your goddamn right."
  • "Square-halo angels" references early Christian paintings of religious scenes, in which living persons, who often-times had commissioned the actual painting, were portrayed with a square-shaped halo.[1]
  • The lyric "creator, preserver, destroyer" references three I Ching trigrams. Respectively these are quán (☰), "the creative," kūn (☷), "the receptive" and zhèn (☳), "the arousing." Born Villain conceputalizes the archetypical villain, whom has the chance to change; with this line Marilyn Manson assumes the role of the destroyer in order to make the change. Creation, preservation and destruction are also the three forms in the Hindu concept of Trimurti.[2]
