Walk through the streets of PA and you may see her
Go up to her and say you're a believer
Disgusting trash on MTV it makes her smile
That guy from Satan's embassy put him on trial

Because, cause, Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend
(He ate my girlfriend)
Satan consumed her mind, yeah, and he may do it again
Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend
(He ate my girlfriend)
She once believed in the truth, yeah, now she believes in sin

She denies God when she has the chance to live for him
The thought of it makes me cringe, her future looks dim
She'd rather gaze in Satan's eyes than on a steeple
I'm really starting to despise beautiful people

Because, cause, Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend
(He ate my girlfriend)
Satan consumed her mind, yeah, and he may do it again
Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend
(He ate my girlfriend)
She once believed in the truth, yeah, now she believes in sin

Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend
(Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Manson)
Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend, whoa
(Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Manson)
Marilyn Manson, he's not cool
(Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Manson)
Marilyn Manson went to Matt Hoopes' school
(Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Manson)
Marilyn Manson, he's not nice
(Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Manson)
Marilyn Manson shows are overpriced
(Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Manson)
Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Manson, yeah
Marilyn Manson ate my girlfriend

    I've always thought about it making a connection in some sense because both Relient K and Marilyn Manson are from Canton, Ohio. I have both versions and I like them both. The only difference is towards the end. And yeah the one does say a Canton school and to correct people Marilyn Manson went to a private Christian school, not a Catholic school.

    uh....i just got in a HUGE fight with somoene over all of this "music changes who you are crap" i don't get why it would though. im not saying it doesn't or anything, it just isn't true for me. with all the crap that's been happening in my life right now, if i listened to christian music or if i listened to hardcore death metal stuff, it wouldn;t have an effect. i did it. i listened to chirstian for like, a wekk. i was stuck on it. my life kept going downt he drain. listened to metal, still kept going.....im not trying to get sypathy here, im just trying to make a point. what music poeple listen to really isn't anyone else's business. for me, music is like, sooo personal and so meaningful to me, the lyrics are. and hwen people say i should stop listening, yeah, i will get pissed. i agree with opiv87. and i also don't think that cussing is pro-devil. that's just me. i dont care one way or the other if poeple cuss or not. i personally dont get why bad words are so "bad." this is all stupid. MUSIC SHOULDN'T BE TAKEN SO SERIOUSLY. it shouldn't get mixed up with religion.

    mariahlovesmusic, I understand your position on language usage, but just to clarify, the "worldly language" is any language other than "speaking in tounges." If you want people to stop swearing, call it what it is.

    Matgrasm, you make very interesting points. However, I think there is a hair-thin fine line between judging people and saying they are contradictory to your/a set of beliefs. I believe the latter was the message that Relient K and the kids on here were trying to get across.

    Also, musical taste varies from person to person, just like the taste in food. People are allowed to like certain songs or music if it appeals to them. Just because one person doesn't like a song, doesn't mean some one else can't.

    The kids on here aren't bashing atheism or whatever you claim, so could you please stop doing that to them. Respect them for their choices and beliefs and maybe they'll do the same.

    The connection between Relient K and Marilyn Manson: they both went to GlenOak High School in Canton, Ohio.

    I am both a Christian and a bigtime Relient K fan. These are my opinions that I try to be objective about.

    By the way, Manson's going to a catholic school is one of the main reasons he is what he is now.

    And I like him. He's an intelligent man.

    You people are a bunch of idiots. Why do you talk about a Christian band and a song with such intolerance?

    Anyways, here's a shocker for you atheists and believers alike. I'm a fan of both Marilyn Manson and Relient K.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
