Lyrics
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
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.

Trivia
- 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]
