Marilyn Manson · Other Songs - Marilyn Manson
Never mind the destination
Sex, Guns, and Anarchy
Blood, Guts, and Sodomy
Mutually your shore destruction
Backing down is not an option
Sex, Guns, and Anarchy
Blood, Guts, and Sodomy
How this works
You sell
You gotta believe in me
I am everything
I'm the final step you take towards your sanity
You gotta believe in me
I am everything
I'm the only one still left in your reality
You gotta believe in me
You dug a hole and fell inside
Your perfect world was compromised
Sex, Guns, and Anarchy
Blood, Guts, and Sodomy
You still don't know who the hell you are
You're only worried about the balance on your credit card
Sex, Guns, and Anarchy
Blood, Guts, and Sodomy
How this works
You sell
You gotta believe in me
I am everything
I'm the final step you take towards your sanity
You gotta believe in me
I am everything
I'm the only one still left in your reality
You gotta believe in me
TV sells hypocrisy
It's feeding off of apathy
Above the surface all is well
But dig up it and go to hell
Just put a bullet in my head
I've already have been left for dead
Just shut your mouth and close your eyes
Reality's alive
You gotta believe in me
I am everything
I'm the final step you take towards your sanity
You gotta believe in me
I am everything
I'm the only one still left in your reality
You gotta believe in me

The recording features the distorted guitars and dramatic vocal delivery that characterize his work from this period, establishing a sonic identity that would influence countless alternative artists. As part of a discography marked by provocative themes and bold production choices, "Believe" exemplifies Manson's ability to merge pop sensibilities with darker, more aggressive musical textures.
