Cover art for Prelude (The Family Trip) lyrics by Marilyn Manson

Personaly, i feel that oyu have to look at it a bit more, you can't have a deep song with the meaning just floating on the surface for you to pick up, now can we? To me it's a statement on the direction society is going, basicly we can't really tell, everyhting is going to pot, but no one will change their ways no matter their side, and they don't look to be changing anytime soon, and all their continued action is doing is escalating the problem.
