| EXACTLY LOGAN! You hit it on the dot. You are what he is talking about. People who don't care. There are so many "nobodies" in the world, no one really cares about them or notices them. They want to be something, to be noticed. They know they are nothing though. When THEY die no one cares, it doesn't effect them. They say some prayers and go on. The only thing people care about when someone dies is if they can get enough coverage of the deaths to get ratings. You are a perfect example of a souless person. You don't care and to me that means you feel nothing. I pray for you. | |

| When I heard the line "We fed machines and then we prayed" I took it that the 'machine' was a printing press. Meaning they started up the printing presses right after they heard about it, the fact that after he said 'we fed machines' he then says 'and then we prayed' meaning they were more concerned about getting the story out first than caring about the kids who died. | |

| I think the song is about people as "nobodies", by I do think this was his lyrical tribute to the shooters at Columbine. "We are the nobodies/wanna be somebodies/but we're dead/they'll know just who were are". I think Manson eloquently put the torture and selfishness these boys must have felt to do what they did. | |
