Marilyn Manson · Other Songs - Marilyn Manson
one in five
no one here gets out alive
now, you get yours, baby
I'll get mine
gonna make it baby,if we try
The old get old, baby
and the young get stronger
may take a week and it may take longer
they got the guns but, we got the numbers
gonna win yeah, we're TAKIN OVER!
come on
your ballroom days are over, baby
night is drawin near
shadows of the evenings
crawl across the years
you walk across the floor
with a flower in your hand
tryin to tell me no one fuckin understands
trade in your hours for a handful of dimes
gonna make it baby in our prime
come together one more time
come together one more time
get together one more time
get together one more time
get together one more time
get together one more time
get together one more time
get together one more time
get together one more time..........
Five To One
Released in 1996 on the album Mechanical Animals, "Five To One" stands as a defining track in Marilyn Manson's evolution from gothic rock to industrial metal. The song exemplifies the genre's signature blend of aggressive distortion, rhythmic precision, and theatrical vocals, serving as a cornerstone of his discography during the mid-90s. Its production features the heavy, mechanical soundscapes characteristic of the era's industrial movement, while Manson's delivery combines raw intensity with a distinct, almost conversational cadence. As a staple of his live performances and a frequent inclusion in compilations, the track remains a critical representation of the band's transition into a more polished, yet equally chaotic, sonic identity that would influence countless artists in the alternative metal and industrial subgenres.
