Marilyn Manson - One Assassination Under God Lyrics

You gave us what we wished for
A few tangled strings attached
Pull back the curtain
I won't suffer for your amusement

There's no more dreams for me to sell
I choose my nightmares wisely
I don't wanna ruin the story
But it doesn't turn out well

You will always be entertained

Everybody showed up for the execution
But nobody would show their face
To shoot you in the back of the head
And call it sacrifice
They don't deserve to even say your name

Put me inside the animal
Stitch it up and shove us off a cliff
When they tear the wings from all the swine
Just monkeys will be left to fly

The pilot light has flickered out
And all the ashes will be screaming
No one can hear my last words
And no encore once we say goodbye

You will always be entertained

You will always be entertained

Everybody showed up for the execution
But nobody would show their face
To shoot you in the back of the head
And call it sacrifice
They don't deserve to even say your name

Assassination
Assassination
Assassination
Assassination

Everybody showed up for the execution
But nobody would show their face
To shoot you in the back of the head
And call it sacrifice
They don't deserve to even say your name

Sacrifice
Not a sacrifice
Not a sacrifice
Not a sacrifice
