Use Your Fist And Not Your Mouth Lyrics

Cover art for Use Your Fist And Not Your Mouth lyrics by Marilyn Manson

on the one hand he's saying "use your fist and not your mouth" which is sortof an active kind of saying. more action, less talking. on the other hand he's saying "i woke up today and wished for tomorrow"... i dunno about anyone else, ,but when i'm depressed i pretty much just want to sleep it off. less action. less everything :) so wtf? and then he's talking about the White House, or maybe a typical house (painted white because that's vogue) and damaging it in some way... along with white collar and blue collar...

anyways, it's impossible to avoid identifying with this song. so many different things are covered here. violence, depression, anti-style, anti-religion, and even has a class antagonism message with the whole "black collar" thing (or maybe he's just talking about goths). i mean... a person who is looking to identify with a song could easily do it with this one. and it's a catchy tune, so you can "put it in your middle finger and sing along" ... whatever putting it in your middle finger is.
