The Beautiful People Lyrics

Lyric discussion by 4ngie 

Cover art for The Beautiful People lyrics by Marilyn Manson

I do not think that this song has anything to do with any kind of religion because of these two lines:

"It's not your fault that you're always wrong The weak ones are there to justify the strong"

Even though religion has been loosing it's power of persuasion it still has a great influence on most people so it can not be considered as weak. Therefore we can only consider some individuals who follow a certain religion as the weak ones who are mentioned in this song. But this:

"You can't see the forest for the trees"

and also this:

"There's no time to discriminate Hate every motherfucker that's in your way"

proves me how it is not focused on majority but on minority. Personally I think that this is just a song about following your own way without giving a slightest thought about differences or the people who have blended with a group (and who will most likely discriminate us)

And if I am right, the "beautiful people" in this song are the ones who are so blinded that they can only see themselves

My Interpretation
