Vodevil
14. Marilyn Manson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The wrong side of the bed
But I won't lay down on the floor
Like I'm the whore in your head
Call me a failure
Pretender, sex-offender, infector
Say I killed all my friends
And I deserve to be dead.
Kiss baby kiss
Bang baby bang
Suck baby suck
It's Vodevil
Kiss baby kiss
Bang baby bang
Suck baby suck
It's Vodevil
This isn't music and we're not a band
We're 5 middle fingers on a motherfucking hand
This isn't music and we're not a band
We're 5 middle fingers on a motherfucking hand
I won't pull out I just came
I want all of the blame
your love is tin, faith is thin
No concept of pain, right to complain
All you fagazines, senile teens
Jaw me black ball me
Deejay yourself away and turn your back
It will be easier to stab
Kiss baby kiss
Bang baby bang
Suck baby suck
It's Vodevil
Kiss baby kiss
Bang baby bang
Suck baby suck
It's Vodevil
This isn't music and we're not a band
We're 5 middle fingers on a motherfucking hand
This isn't music and we're not a band
We're 5 middle fingers on a motherfucking hand
VIP add TRD violent shiny hate crime
"Total Requested Dead" it's
Version point (less) downloadable suicide.
The only ones left standing are the ones not demanding
This isn't a show, this is my fucking life
I'm not ashamed you're entertained
But
I'm not a puppet
I am a grenade
I'm not ashamed you're entertained
But
I'm not a puppet
I am a grenade
Kiss baby kiss
Bang baby bang
Suck baby suck
It's Vodevil
Kiss baby kiss
Bang baby bang
Suck baby suck
It's Vodevil
This isn't music and we're not a band
We're 5 middle fingers on a motherfucking hand
This isn't music and we're not a band
We're 5 middle fingers on a motherfucking hand
The opening lines of Marilyn Manson's "Vodevil" set the tone for the rest of the song. Manson sings, "I wake up everyday on the wrong side of the bed, but I won't lay down on the floor, like I'm the whore in your head." These lyrics suggest that Manson is feeling alienated and misunderstood by society. He is arguing that, while his music may be provocative and challenging, it does not make him an inherently bad person, as some people may assume. Instead, he sees himself as a victim of unfair criticisms and judgments.
As the song progresses, Manson becomes increasingly confrontational in his lyrics. He taunts his critics, daring them to call him names like "failure," "pretender," "sex-offender," and "infector." He also directly addresses rumors about his personal life, such as the allegation that he "killed all [his] friends and deserve[s] to be dead." By doing so, Manson seems to be saying that he is not willing to let others define him, nor will he shy away from controversy in order to maintain his artistic integrity.
Overall, "Vodevil" is a song about defiance and self-determination. Manson presents himself as a misunderstood outsider who refuses to conform to expectations or compromise his beliefs. While the lyrics can be confrontational and even aggressive at times, they reflect Manson's desire to challenge traditional social norms and assert his own identity.
