Well, it kinda pissed me off the fact of that everyone moved inmediatly to the brigde to talk about tha columbine shit, and almost noone took the time to look at the verses
"Today, i'm dirty
I want to be pretty
Tomorrow, i'll know, i'm just dirt
What i see here, is someone who feels bad about himself, doesn't matter what, and does something to become "pretty", losing with this his humanity, first he was dirty, but then, he lost himself, and only the dirt was left.
The Bridge it's obviously about television, but not exactly the columbine, i think, even if manson said it was, clever publicity stunt by him, but when we talk about "the kids" we talk about someone young, who's still not corrupted by our shitty society, we talk about something pure, and i guess that's what manson wanted to say.
