Artist/Band: Marilyn Manson
Lyrics for Song: Personal Jesus (Depeche Mode Cover)
Lyrics for Album: Lest We Forget: The Best Of



Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer

Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
We need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Reach out and touch faith
(Faith, faith, faith, faith, faith...)

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver

Yeah, reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Yeah, reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith


Personal Jesus (Depeche Mode Cover)

Marilyn Manson's cover of 'Personal Jesus' appears on his 2000 compilation album 'Lest We Forget: The Best Of'. The track reimagines the iconic Depeche Mode anthem with Manson's signature aggressive delivery and dark aesthetic, transforming the original's spiritual undertones into a critique of consumerism and religious hypocrisy. Released during the height of his 'Mechanical Animals' era, the recording exemplifies his ability to reinterpret classic rock and pop songs through a gothic metal lens. By stripping away the original's melodic warmth and replacing it with distorted guitars and a brooding vocal performance, Manson creates a new sonic identity that resonates with his cult following while paying homage to the source material. This version remains a staple of his discography, illustrating his commitment to deconstructing and recontextualizing established musical works.
