In the past, band members dressed in outlandish makeup and costumes, and engaged in intentionally shocking behavior both onstage and off. Their lyrics often received criticism for their anti-religious sentiment and references to sex, violence and drugs, while their live performances were frequently called offensive and obscene. On several occasions, protests and petitions led to the group being blocked from performing, with at least three US states passing legislation banning the group from performing at state-owned venues. They released a number of platinum-selling albums, including Antichrist Superstar (1996) and Mechanical Animals (1998). These albums, along with their highly stylized music videos and worldwide touring, brought public recognition to Marilyn Manson. In 1999, news media, infamously, falsely blamed the band for influencing the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre.
As this controversy began to wane throughout the 2000s, so did the band's mainstream popularity. Despite this, Jon Wiederhorn of MTV, in June 2003, referred to Marilyn Manson as "the only true artist today". Marilyn Manson is widely regarded as being one of the most iconic and controversial figures in rock music, with the band and its lead singer influencing numerous other groups and musicians, both in metal-associated acts and also in wider popular culture. VH1 ranked Marilyn Manson as the seventy-eighth best rock band on their 100 Great Artists of Hard Rock. They were inducted into the Kerrang! Hall of Fame in 2000, and have been nominated for four Grammy Awards. In the U.S., the band has seen ten of its releases debut in the top ten, including two number-one albums. Marilyn Manson have sold in excess of 50 million records worldwide.

We Know Where You Fucking Live
Marilyn Manson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're all recording this as it happens
Those diamond bullets, storefront blood bank
Splinters and stained glass
We don't need to move a single prayer bone
Dodge burn so loud and so low
We don't need to move a single prayer bone
Hi-def is still life
So what's a nice place like this
Doing 'round people like us?
So what's a nice place like this
Doing 'round people like us?
We know where you fucking live
We know where you fucking live
We'll burn it down, burn it down
They won't even recognize your corpse
The world was stripped of its superficial surfaces
We don't intend to just eat the street
The asphalt is the good meat
We will sleep on the skin of its nightmares
We will sleep on the skin of its nightmares
Time to just kill this crowd
Scream as fucking loud
We know where you fucking live
We know where you fucking live
We'll burn it down, burn it down
They won't even recognize your corpse
Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire away
Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire away
Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire away
Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire away
I love the sound of shells
Hitting the ground, man
I love the sound of shells
Hitting the ground, I love it
I love the sound of shells
Hitting the ground, man
I love the sound of shells
Hitting the ground, I love it
I love it
Fire, fire, fire away
Fire fire fire away
Fire fire fire, fire fire fire
Fire fire fire, fire fire fire, fire fire fire
We know where you fucking live
We know where you fucking live
We'll burn it down, burn it down
They won't even recognize your corpse
We know where you fucking live
We know where you fucking live
We know where you fucking live
We know where you fucking live

The lyrics to Marilyn Manson's "We Know Where You Fucking Live" are a scathing indictment of the state of society in the present day, with the singer clearly feeling that the world is a dark and dangerous place where violence and hatred are rampant. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with Manson declaring that everyone is recording what is happening as the violence and chaos play out. He then goes on to describe the scenes of destruction and horror that are unfolding around him, with "diamond bullets" and "storefront blood banks" standing out as particularly evocative images.
The chorus is particularly powerful, with Manson repeating the title of the song over and over again: "We know where you fucking live." This is clearly an ominous warning to those who are perpetrating the violence and chaos, suggesting that there is some kind of unified force at work that is keeping track of their movements and actions. Manson seems almost gleeful about the prospect of burning it all down and making sure that the perpetrators are never identified or brought to justice.
The song is a dark and intense exploration of the themes of violence, hatred, and social decay that are so prevalent in the present day. Manson is a master of creating provocative and disturbing imagery, and this song is no exception. It is a powerful indictment of the violence and cruelty that are so often a part of our everyday lives, and a warning that we need to do more to combat these forces before they consume us all.

The surface-level beauty of the world has been removed and exposed
We don't intend to just eat the street
We are not content with simply taking over the streets
The asphalt is the good meat
The hard, rough surfaces are what we thrive on
We will sleep on the skin of its nightmares
We will rest peacefully in the midst of others' fears and terrors
