Organ Grinder Lyrics

Cover art for Organ Grinder lyrics by Marilyn Manson

The antithesis from the first line shows the general idea of how Manson is perceived - a combination of good and bad. The song itself gravitates around this - He's expected to ''dance with a funny little monkey'', because of society's terms, but, underneath the mask - which represents a false image of him - there is his real self (real head), who ''can't be handled'' and that scares people - they try to not think so much about him, so he won't ''bring him out''. At the end, he still manages to scare them, by saying that people like him are everywhere.
