| breaking the song down: and I'm a black rainbow - he's a dark parody of what's usually considered beautiful. also, according to the bible (i think) the first rainbow was black, to signal the approach of the flood that washed away all the shit of the world. manson is a sign to the world that things are going to change. and I'm an ape of god - he's one of god's creature's something created by god and ultimately no better than anyone else. created equal. a rebel from the waist down - this is a quote from nineteen eighty four by george orwell, where it was applied to julia because she preferred to take rebellion as isolated acts of disobedience (she was having sex, which was forbidden by big brother, hence "from the waist down"). while she would do what she wanted regardless of what she was told, she had no concept, or did not care about any overthrowing of the system. i think manson is trying to say that he isn't trying to change the world, just doing what he wants, and being attacked for it. I wanna thank you mom I wanna thank you dad for bringing this fucking world to a bitter end - it's the people who came before us that fucked up this world, then people like manson, the artists, who are reflecting the shit they see around them, are used as scapegoats - people society can point the finger at for things like columbine, whilst ignoring their own responsibility. I never really hated a one true god but the god of the people I hated - manson never hated the idea of one god, just the twisted effigy protrayed by the people who fucked up this world, and who use this image to control and oppress people. you said you wanted evolution the ape was a great big hit you say you want a revolution, man and I say that you're full of shit - i think this is attacking people who sit at home and mouth off about how the world should be, and never do a thing about it. people will never change the world whilst they're content to sit at home in front of their tvs, with a roof over their heads and a warm fire. in this way people have come to accept injustice as the price of comfort. here, still, god is being used to tell people it's not their responsibility to look after the world (which is in direct contradiction to the bible). here religion and the media are serving one and the same purpose. in this way it could be said these people are rebels from the neck up, capable of verbally criticising the injustices of the world, but unwilling or incapable of doing anything about them. this is the anti-thesis of manson, the "rebel from the waist down". we're disposable teens - we're the people who have to live with the crap that's been fed to us. we're disposable. we're worthless. we have no future, and we can't change a thing. the more that you fear us the bigger we get and don't be surprised, don't be surprised don't be surprised when we destroy all of it - eventually, when we can't feel any more useless or futile, when we become the oppressed mass that we're evolving into, and we're feared by the people who let this happen the power will be in our hands, and we will tear it all down. we are the flood prophecised by manson's rainbow. | |

| I believe that this song had a lot to do with the columbine incident. Manson wrote this album about 3 different things, one was the columbine shooting. Everybody blamed manson and the music that people listen to as an excuse for people doing this kind of stuff. When manson writes his lyrics, he tells it how it really is. | |
