You want to act like me
You've got no sense of your own identity
You can't begin to see
That you and me makes we
That's not what I want to be
Fuck you!
Imitation's not a flattery
So, you can't begin to feel
You can't begin to feel
You can't begin to feel
I said fuck you
I don't want to know you
I don't want to know
It's about time
I've made up my mind
Get out of my life, you motherfucker
It's about time, made up my mind
I'm taking what's mine, you motherfucker
You are made from things you steal from me
You can't begin to feel
You can't begin to feel
Can't begin to feel
So, fuck you!
You suck my energy, my personality
You steal, steal, steal from me
You can't begin to feel
You can't begin to feel
You can't begin to feel
Fuck you!
Imitation's not a flattery
So you're a pitiful thief
You're a pitiful thief
You're a pitiful thief
Fuck you!
I don't want to know you, I don't want to know
It's about time
I've made up my mind
Get out of my life, you motherfucker
It's about time, made up my mind
I'm taking what's mine, you motherfucker
You are made from things you steal from me
You can't begin to feel
You can't begin to feel
Can't begin to feel
Fuck you!
You want to worship me then just worship me
Don't even try to be
You're a fucking thief
You're a fucking thief
You're a fucking thief
Fuck you
Fuck you!
Imitation's not a flattery
So, you're a pitiful thief
You're a pitiful theif
You're a fucking thief
I don't want to know you
I don't want to know
I don't want to know you
I don't want to know you
Thingmaker
Thingmaker stands as a notable song in Marilyn Manson's expansive discography, showcasing the artist's signature blend of industrial rock and theatrical horror. The track captures the dark, mechanical energy that defined much of his work during the era of Mechanical Animals, reflecting a period where Manson explored themes of artificiality and societal decay. While often overshadowed by major singles, the song contributes to the broader narrative of his evolving sound, moving away from pure shock rock toward a more polished, cinematic production style. It remains a compelling example of how Manson utilized his platform to critique consumer culture and identity, embedding these concepts within a heavy, rhythmic framework that resonates with fans of alternative and industrial music.
