Wrapped In Plastic Lyrics

Cover art for Wrapped In Plastic lyrics by Marilyn Manson

"I'm only as sick as the stick in the pig" Is probably a refrence to Lord of the Flies, which Roger kills a big by sticking a stick in the pigs ass.

Other than that, this song is about how people force-feed religion and isolate children from reality. "thin and so white, thin and so white daddy tells the daughter" "guilt [religion!] is a snake we beat with a rake to grow in our kitchen in the pies we bake feed it to us to squirm in our bellies twisting our guts make our spines to jelly" Freakish Has nicely summerised what the 'wrapped in plastic' is all about

And he talks about, making your children hate things is only going to make them rebel. "fear of the beast is calling it near" And states how religous people hate things out of fear that there religion is not right. "creating what we're hating, it's only fear that is here"

"to wash away sin you must take off your skin the righteous father wears the yellowist grin" This line shows that if you REALLY wish to see who is morally right- you need to take off your 'mask'. The mask that many relgious people where that makes them look like 'good people' when deep down they are morally corrupt.

Sorry this is so long, and points out the obvious. I love this song, so I have a need to explain every sing part of it. lmfao
