"'''The Love Song'''" is the second track on the 2000 release ''[[Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)]]''. The song was inspired by society's common obsession with fire arms, the harmful values of conservative Middle America, and what [[Marilyn Manson|Manson]] believes are its 3 core preoccupations: Guns, God and the Government, metaphors the father as the arm, the mother as the gun, and the children as the bullet.
