Pistol Whipped

Marilyn Manson · Born Villain [2012]

You look so pretty when you cry.

Don't wanna hit you but the only thing,

Between our love is a bloody nose

A busted lip and a blackened eye



You look so pretty when you cry.

Don't wanna hit you but the only thing,

Between our love is a bloody nose

A busted lip and a blackened eye



You're a little pistol

And I'm f*cking pistol whipped

You're a little pistol

And I'm f*cking pistol whipped



(Cock, cock, cock it)

When I undo my belt,

You melt and you walk away

With a red, red, red welt

Or so they say.



When I undo my belt,

(Cock, cock, cock it)

You melt and you walk away

(Cock, cock, cock it)

With a red, red, red welt

Or so they say



You're a little pistol

And I'm f*cking pistol whipped

You're a little pistol

And I'm f*cking pistol whipped



(Cock, cock, cock it)

I wanna have your ache

And beat you too

I wanna have your ache

And beat you too

I wanna have your ache

And beat you too

I wanna have your ache

And beat you too



You're a little pistol

And I'm f*cking pistol whipped

(Cock, cock, cock it) [x2]

You're a little pistol

And I'm f*cking pistol whipped

(Cock, cock, cock it) [x2]



(Cock, cock, cock it)

Pistol Whipped

From Marilyn Manson's 2012 album Born Villain, 'Pistol Whipped' stands as a defining track of his later era, blending industrial rock with aggressive electronic textures. The song exemplifies Manson's signature style, characterized by distorted guitars, pounding rhythms, and his distinctive vocal delivery that oscillates between melodic intensity and guttural shouts. Released during a period where the artist continued to explore darker, more complex sonic landscapes, the recording reinforces his status as a pioneer of alternative metal and industrial music. It serves as a powerful statement piece within the Born Villain catalogue, capturing the raw energy and theatricality that have defined his career since the 1990s. The track remains a staple for fans of the genre, showcasing the enduring impact of his work on modern rock and metal culture.
