Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques

	"We'll be the worms in your apple pies, Fake abuse for our bios. Blacken our own eyes. Grass isn't greener on the other side. We set it on fire. And we have no reason why" This verse may be a reference back to Manson's own autobiography, which critics flamed for the mixture of fact and fiction. Manson, of course, printed a disclaimer in the book, citing that many names and features had been changed, and that many characters were composites. But Manson has, and always will be, a master storyteller, and that is what originally made him a 'bright young thing.' The latter part of the verse is a direct reference to The Fight Song. As Manson stated to Kerrang Magazine back in August 2000, "The Fight Song is about someone who always thinks the grass is greener on the other side, but when he is finally a part of this perfect world he realizes that it's worse than where he came from. It's about creating a revolution with music." These lyrics suggest that the revolution is over. In fact, he destroyed the revolution, and moved on. "We set fashion, not follow. Spit vitriol, not swallow." Here, Manson addresses the criticism that he only copies from what has already been done, and reinforces his tendency to do so with fervor. Vitriol, technically another name for sulfuric acid (sulfur trioxide) also means the expression of bitter deep-seated ill will. Instead of merely swallowing such rancor, he spits it back into the faces of his critics. "We don't rebel to sell it just suits us well." According to Manson, these lines stab at the critics who claim the emotions behind his music exist only to increase record sales. "You can be pissed off and be good at it, and it doesn't have to be fake," he told the Las Vegas Review Journal in July, 2003. http://www.resnet.trinity.edu/ddamon/hierophant/lexicon/grot-12.htm

	i think this song is, in someways defending goths and outcasts... saying that it's not attention that were after, were just trying to be who we feel we are...IMO... best song on the CD thats for sure

No Picture luke Wanna Be	#4 by luke chaffey at Apr 8, 1991 at 8:31 PM EST
	i dont think this is mocking as such.. more just the kids that are sick of authority and all, and aren't rebelling for anttention, but standing up for what they believe in.

	I think this is about little "goth" children, who act that way in attempt to get attention. "Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no cause"; I'm glad that he finally said something about those "bright young things".
