The boy's got a head like an atom bomb
Hang him from a cross like the number one son
And he's been waiting so long
To get it on.
The boy's 15 but he's 16 gauge
Wants to break out from his Jesus cage
He's already torn out the last page
It's the "latest rage"
Violence for the people
They always eat the hand that bleeds
Violence for the people
Give the kids what they need
Kill your god, Kill your god
Kill your TV
The boy's purified by the quitter gods
Burning up his cross like a revelation
And his glass jaw opens
Like a puppet head
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear
Hang him from a cross like the number one son
And he's been waiting so long
To get it on.
The boy's 15 but he's 16 gauge
Wants to break out from his Jesus cage
He's already torn out the last page
It's the "latest rage"
Violence for the people
They always eat the hand that bleeds
Violence for the people
Give the kids what they need
Kill your god, Kill your god
Kill your TV
The boy's purified by the quitter gods
Burning up his cross like a revelation
And his glass jaw opens
Like a puppet head
This is what you should fear
You are what you should fear

Several songs on "Holy Wood" are about celebrity death culture and the glorification of those who kill celebrity favorites (like Mark David Chapman).
Also, "this is what you should fear/you are what you should fear" is taken directly from the lyrics of Kinderfeld, from the Anti-Christ Superstar album.
The song is in effect, Manson attacking "Celebrity Deathmatch" in the context of it promoting the dead celebrity culture and inspiring people to kill their favorite celebrities, because celebrity death is literally part of the American culture in Earth Celebrity Deathmatch and probably has led to even more celebrity death due to the fact that people killing celebrities are treated as God-like figures on shows like CD.
"The boy's 15 but he's 16 gauge
Wants to get out of his Jesus cage"
MM often refers to the number 15. Most recently in The High End of Low, in the 15th track "15". 15 among other things is his birthday, January 5th (1/5). Read the lyrics to 15, great song. So in this song whenever he refers to "the boy" its when he was young and experienced his new "antichrist" feeling. Yes he doesn't see himself as "antichrist" but very much as anti church and hates the way people worship any God so hypocritically. Which i completely agree with.
This is what you should fear.
You are what you should fear.
Kill your God
Kill your TV
The whole "This is what you should fear..." line comes from the song Wormboy off Antichrist Superstar. Manson has a habit of doing things like this, and not just that, this song was recording during the sessions of Antichrist Superstar.
By the way, the lyric "The boy's purified by the quitter gods."
does not even exist at all. The correct lyric is "The boy's got a head like an atom bomb."
Wait, are you trolling?
And to die with dignity, sing to the... (cuts out into the song)
I'm not sure. I think it has something to do with violence on TV and how we're sucked in and want to see more of it. We talk about getting rid of all that stuff and that it's bad, but then we turn on the news and the cycle repeats, I guess. I don't know...
in my view I think that Manson is encouraging people not to follow media cause it's in every casting that they know they screw up.
also that bullshit saying that manson took out his lower ribs to suck his own dick...THATS FUCKED UP... how could that be possible? may i ask...cause for one thing if that happened his lungs would collapse!!!
obveously nobody wants to get facts from the actual source. they always want everything altered to make it seem "intreeging."
so to put it simple...he giving the fat fucking middle finger to every news caster/reporter in the world.
