Good times for a change

See, the luck I've had

Can make a good man

Turn bad



So please please please

Let me, let me, let me

Let me get what I want

This time



Haven't had a dream in a long time

See the life I've had

Can make a good man bad



So for once in my life

Let me get what I want

Lord knows, it would be the first time

Lord knows, it would be the first time

Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want

Released in 1996 on the album Mechanical Animals, this track stands as a defining moment in Marilyn Manson's evolution from gothic rock to industrial pop. The song blends aggressive electronic production with Manson's signature theatrical vocals, creating a sonic landscape that critiques consumer culture and media saturation. Its driving rhythm and repetitive hook became a staple of the mid-90s alternative scene, influencing a generation of artists who fused punk energy with electronic textures. The recording exemplifies the era's shift toward darker, more synthesized sounds, cementing Manson's status as a provocative figure in industrial music while showcasing his ability to craft anthemic tracks that resonate with themes of desire and control.
