Marilyn Manson – My Monkey Lyrics 20 years ago
One of my friends who is a huge manson fan told me (and I agree with him) that this song is actually questioning why people commit violence, what in society drives them to it. This is started off with that guy going "why are the children doing what they're doing?" I can't be sure but I think some of the more distorted lyrics sound like "sanity is a myth."

Basically I think manson is saying that people aren't insane and don't commit violence for any set reason (violent movies etc), it's just that people are insane. A child with a toy monkey and a toy train doesn't sound sinister, but it could be :P
