"'''King Kill 33°'''" is the eighteenth track on the 2000 release ''[[Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)]]''. The song opens with a sound reminiscent of the buzzing of an insect's wings, followed by a blowing sound backed by Manson whispering "blame me," referring to the Columbine massacre.

== Lyrics ==
     Is this what you wanted?
     This is what you get.
     Turned all your lives into this shit.
     You never accepted or treated me fair
     Blame me for what I believe and I wear.
     You fucked yourselves and you
     Raised these sheep
     The blue and the withered seeds you will reap.
     You never gave me a chance to be me
     Or even a fucking chance just to be.
     But I have to show you that you played a role
     And I will destroy you once and for all.
     The world that hates me has taken its toll
     But now I have finally taken control.
     You wanted so bad to make me this thing
     And I want you now to just kill the king...
     
     And I am not sorry, and I am not sorry
     This is what you deserve
     And I am not sorry, and I am not sorry
     This is what you deserve
     I am not sorry, and I am not sorry
     This is what you deserve
     
     King Kill 33
     King Kill 33
     King Kill 33
     King Kill 33
