Get Your Gunn
Marilyn Manson · Portrait Of An American Family
I eat innocent meat
The housewife I will beat
The prolife I will kill
What you won't do I will
I bash myself to sleep
What you sow I will reap
I scar myself you see
I wish I wasn't me
I am the little stick
You stir me into shit
I hate therefore I am
Goddamn your righteous hand
Goddamn ooh Lord, Goddamn ooh Lord
Goddamn ooh Lord, Goddamn ooh Lord
Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak
But your Selective judgements and good guy badges
Don't mean a fuck to me
I throw a little fit
I slit my teenage wrist
The most that I can learn
Is in records that you burn
Get your gunn, get your gunn
Get your gunn, get your gunn
Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak
But your selective judgements and good guy badges
Don't mean a fuck to me
Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak
But your selective judgements and good guy badges
Don't mean a fuck to me
I am the VHS
Record me with your fist
You want me to save the world
I'm just a little girl
Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak
But your selective judgements and good guy badges
Don't mean a fuck to me
Pseudo-morals work real well
On the talk shows for the weak
But your selective judgements and good guy badges
Don't mean a fuck to me
Get your gunn, get your gunn
Get your gunn, get your gunn...Get
Get Your Gunn
Released in 2000 on the album Portrait Of An American Family, "Get Your Gunn" stands as a defining track in Marilyn Manson's evolution toward industrial rock and hip-hop fusion. The song features a distinctive sample of the Beastie Boys' "Fight for Your Right," which Manson recontextualizes to deliver a biting critique of consumerism and media sensationalism. With its aggressive rhythm and Manson's characteristic vocal delivery, the recording exemplifies the genre-blending approach that characterized the turn of the millennium. It remains a staple of his discography, reflecting the era's fascination with post-grunge and electronic textures while maintaining the band's signature theatrical edge.
