The Bright Young Things Lyrics


We'll be the worms in your apple pie
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 whyWe set fashion, not follow
Spit vitriol, not swallow
We set fashion, not follow
Spit vitriol, not swallowGood for nothing
But being everything that's bad, bad, bad
Good for nothing
But being everything that's bad, bad, badWe know who we are and what we want to say
And we don't care who's listening
We don't rebel to sell, it just suits us well
We're the bright young thingsGot my villain necktie and a mouth of hi-fi
So sharp, I'm bleeding from my Judas hole
Arch dandy, no-goodnik and I'm headed for Crashville
I'm most monster with the groan box in the 'Meat Show'We set fashion, not follow
Spit vitriol, not swallow
We set fashion, not follow

Spit vitriol, not swallowGood for nothing
But being everything that's bad
Good for nothing
But being everything that's badWe know who we are and what we want to say
And we don't care who's listening
We don't rebel to sell, it just suits us well
We're the bright young thingsCrashing the ether, we've got the loudest stereotype
Even neophytes deep 6 your pro-life
We don't need to move a single prayer bone
We're so beautiful and damned, simply as a 'still-life'Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no cause
Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no cause
Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no cause
Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no causeStop the song and remember what you used to be
Somebody that could fucking impress meWe know who we are and what we want to say
And we don't care who's listening
We don't rebel to sell, it just suits us well
We are the bright young thingsWe know who we are and what we want to say
And we don't care who's listening
We don't rebel to sell, it just suits us well
We're the bright young thingsGood for nothing
But being everything that's bad
Good for nothing
But being everything that's bad

Marilyn Manson is a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States-formed rock band led by the singer also named Marilyn Manson (born Brian Hugh Warner on January 5, 1969). Warner chose the name, a combination of Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson, to illustrate what he considered to be the extreme dualism of late 20th century American culture. The stage names of each band member were originally created by combining the first name of an iconic female sex symbol and the last name of an iconic mass murderer or serial killer, though this naming convention has not extended to new band members after the mid-90s. Along with Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper he is currently one of the main performers of the shock rock genre.

Formed in 1989 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids, the band's uniquely theatrical performances gathered a local cult following that developed over time into a worldwide fanbase. By the late 1990s the band was considered one of modern music's most widely-known and controversial acts; this was due, in large part, to Manson's then-frequent clashes with religious and political groups. Manson's lyrics often receive criticism for their anti-religious sentiment and for references to sex, drugs, and violence (albeit typically in the abstract as opposed to any specific depiction). The band's music and performances have frequently been called offensive and obscene. Protests and petitions have sometimes led to the group being banned from performing.

Each Manson album has tended to have a distinct image and sound, with Manson himself often recording and performing each record in the guise of a different adopted persona. The musical differences album to album are also due, no doubt, to the fact that the band experiences frequent personnel changes. Since keyboardist Madonna 'Pogo' Wayne Gacy left the band in 2006 Manson himself was the only remaining original bandmember. In 2008 Twiggy Ramirez (previously a member of Marilyn Manson as bassist/songwriter), drummer Ginger Fish and multi-instrumentalist Chris Vrenna also joined Manson for the upcoming album.

After the 1990s, both the controversy and the band's mainstream popularity have waned. Despite this, its many devoted fans have made Marilyn Manson a consistently high-profile group; three of the band's albums have been awarded platinum certification and three more have been awarded gold. The band has seen three of its releases debut in the top ten, including two number-one albums. In June 2003, Jon Wiederhorn of MTV.com called Marilyn Manson "the only true artist today".

Marilyn Manson's 6th studio album, 'Eat Me, Drink Me', was released worldwide on June 5th 2007. The album spawned two singles, Heart-Shaped Glasses (When The Heart Guides The Hand) and Putting Holes in Happiness. It was followed up by The High End of Low in May 2009.

His most recent album is Born Villain, released on April 25, 2012 in Japan and on May 1, 2012 in the United States. A new website design and logo were launched in May 2011 to signify the changes the band had been going through during the process of recording Born Villain, as has happened with all previous albums since Mechanical Animals.

Manson has gained some of his fame with his dark covers of 80's hitsingles, like Sweet Dreams (by the Eurythmics) and Tainted Love (originally performed by Gloria Jones and brought to fame by Soft Cell). Apart from the fame he gained probably even more notoriety with the band's bestselling album 'Antichrist Superstar', which contains the songs "The Beautiful People" and "Antichrist Superstar" among others.
