This was the first song Marilyn Manson ever wrote - he was 15 when he started it. The song is about how the world is filled with stereotypes; everyone thinks that they are perfect and everyone else is just crap. >>

At the beginning of this song is a clip from Marlon Brando in the movie Last Tango in Paris: "Go on, smile you c--t."

Matt from Scone, AustraliaThe lyrics originate from public-access channels that Manson came across in the early days - smothered in the likes of preaching and pornography. Several versions of the song also existed over the years before the final product made its way onto a studio album.
