First I have to give you a little introduction to the album: the golden age of grotesque. Manson is always refering to historical points to create paradoxes between them. This album is historically place in the 30' nazi germany. The society the government the religion etc are represented by the nazi party and marilyn manson a bit like a jewish, at the time the jazz music, mikey mouse, jewish artist etc were represented like the "degenerate". And manson is making a paradox between this and the actual society that has just became in a new form another nazi reich: conformism, ethic, religion, stereotypes, the government, the news, and particulary in this case "metal music/jazz music. Like in each of his album the dichtomy of the opposite combination is apply.
In the todays society:
Satanism: individualism, sexual liberty, freedom.
The actual society: control, stereotypes and disinformation everywhere and other related stuff.
In the comparative nazi germany:
The jewish "degenerate-art": jazz, free music inspiration etc...
Nazis: Fascist, control over people and their sexual preferences, rascist etc...
A lot of references to the 30' movies, kabarett, society, art.
This was just to give you a small idea of the theme of the album so now lets have a look at the lirycs.
"All our monkeys have monkeys
We drive our death crush diamond jaguar limousines"
The death crushed (nazi dead head) and the diamond jaguar limousing wich was a german limousines for the SS.
"We're not fantastic motherfuckers,
But we play them on TV."
"We're the low art gloominati
And we aim to depress"
The "degenerate" music (at the time jazz, today metal)
"The scabaret sacrilegends"
scab cabaret, scrilege legends
A mix of these word to show their relation.
"The devils are girls with van goh's missing ear
You say want you want but filth is all that they hear"
"And I've got the jigger
To make all of you bigger, so
"ladies und gentlemen...drop your pissroom bait
And make sure you're not late, you tramps and lunatics."
Here's a trick that's gonna make you
Click."
"So my bon mots, hit-boy Tommy trons, rowdy rowdies,
Honey-fingered goodbye dolls:
"hellzapoppin, open your third nostril,
Put on your black face and your god is gone."
A lot of references to the "degenerate" show of the 30'
