Blank And White

definitly about teenage girls who are either using manson to pretend to be a rebel and be 'hardcore' but when he makes a song thats not load enough they drop him like hes nothing, there not paying attension to the lyrics or meaning, they just want some hardcore shit to make them seem like rockers or something.

"As if we need a "why" i'll be it " i think hes saying the world is messed up enough at this point, so much that he doesnt even have to talk about it, so why are all these 'rebels' begging for another antichrist superstar?

"Give me a picket sign, and make it blank and white, Like all those stupid teenager girls"

a picket sign, a stand against something, but if its blank and white and has no message, theres no point. hes saying these stupid teenager girls are rebeling/protesting against nothing. they have no message to send, they dont know wtf there doing.

"I want to celebrate, i want to sell your hate, today's the day you're gonna fucking die"

sorta speaks for itself, hes gonna celebrate there hate even though its sorta pointless and hes gonna sell there hate to, and maybe even kill them =)

"lets make sure the music is loud enough, we won't hear it end end end." referencing those stupid teenage girls who wont even listen to wtf manson has to say if the song isnt load enough, so he made THIS song sorta load so they can hear it and he can tell them FUCK YOU.

i think hes venting allot of anger he had built up cuz people hated him for doin eat me drink me cuz it was to soft. people need to just respect him as an artist before he kills all of us at the concert XD

Whoops, the verse before (yeah x16) IS:

Give me a picket sign, "God is still dead but god is still white" lets shoot up the mall the school, or whoever wants to fight.

Sorry about that guys.

The part where it gets beeped out when he say's "Let's shoot up the mall/The school/or whoever wants to fight". The line that's beeped out is "or the President of whatever" So the whole verse would be; "Let's shoot up the mall/The school/or the President of whatever/or whoever wants to fight".

Just thought I'd share thought, I hope whenever they play this song live manson will say it uncensored. Fuck censorship!

One more thing, some of the lyrics here have typos like "It it's too dumb to see" should be "If it's too dumb to see" no big deal though, I'm not a grammar nazi.

I ment to say this before but didn't think of it. I'm also aware my own user name has a typo in it to, but what are ya gonna do?

I think its about American life through its television and, as an example, American Idol. Listen to the track again with that in mind. I'll defend my position when I come off the bourbon.

Yeah typos fixed up.

I don't understand why the beep would be censored.

Maybe he did it on purpose so you have to look up for the uncensored version, I actually think it's rather interesting because of the big beep , then when I found out it was "the president of whatever" it's not as intriguing .

This CD is wonderful, I like all of the songs, they really come together but remain unique. Regarding my thoughts on this particular song, it might be about stupid people following trends (Manson included) and having no substance at all.

Mmmn, but i would say girls not just as females but males aswell.

I get the feeling hes calling them all girls for being so sooky-ritchy kids that dress up in these blank and white trendy outfits and have a sook some more about people who conform AND THEN have a cry at manson for not doing the same thing every album.

The censored part of the song where it says "(BEEP)*" actually contains the lyrics:

"Shoot up the mall, the school, or the president of whatever, or whoever wants to fight."

the guitar in the beginning sounds very much like the guitar in the beginning of "Oh stella" by Pj harvey but a bit slower. Nothing bad though I like both songs :)
