The Bright Young Things

Marilyn Manson · The Golden Age Of Grotesque [2003]

We'll be the worms in your apple pie

Fake abuse for our bios blacken our own eyes.

Grass isn't greener on the other side

We'll set it on fire, and we have no reason why



Set fashion, not follow

Spit vitriol not swallow

Set fashion, not follow

Spit vitriol not swallow



Good for nothing but being everything that's bad

Good for nothing but being everything that's bad



We know who we are and what we wanna say

And we don't care who's listening

Ae don't rebel to sell, it just suits us well

We're the bright young things



Got my villain necktie, and Ia mouth of hi-fi

So sharp, I'm bleedin' from my Judas hole

Arch Dandy, no goodnickand I'm headed for crashville

I'm most monster with the groan box in the meat show



Set fashion, not follow

Spit vitriol not swallow

Set fashion, not follow

Spit vitriol not swallow



Good for nothing but being everything that's bad

Good for nothing but being everything that's bad



We know who we are and what we wanna say

And we don't care who's listening

Ae don't rebel to sell, it just suits us well

We're the bright young things



Crashing the ether, we got the loudest stereotype

Even neophytes deep set your pro-life*

We don't need to move a single prayer bone

We're so beautiful and damned

Simply as a still life



Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no cause

Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no cause

Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no cause

Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no cause



stop the song and remember what you used to be?

Somebody that could fucking impress me



We know who we are and what we wanna say

And we don't care who's listening

Ae don't rebel to sell, it just suits us well

We're the bright young things



We know who we are and what we wanna say

And we don't care who's listening

Ae don't rebel to sell, it just suits us well

We're the bright young things



Good for nothing but being everything that's bad

Good for nothing but being everything that's bad
